A member asked:
Can a radioligest be 100% certin that a cyst is benign through ultasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cysts are benign: Cysts is a closed capsule or sac like structure typically filled with liquid, semisolid or gasseous material.As a rule most cysts are benign structures, but sometime some of these can be considered neoplasm. Nearly all cancers are capable of producing cysts so a radiologist only reports what he or she sees on the image, that they see a cyst, it is up to clinician to decide if it is benign or neoplas.
