Benign cyst in breast. what should i do? leave it or remove it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either: Most surgeons would recommend draining the cyst without removal. If the cyst recurs it should be removed. If it does not bother you it could be followed closely without drainage but any rapid increase in size or change on imaging should lead to a biopsy.
