Cyst vs tumor and test to see what one it is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Site matters: Non-invasive tests include ultrasound or other imaging. For some sites, a needle aspiration may help determine whether it is a benign cyst or a cystic tumor. Good radiology and pathology are important in all these, although in the skin, imaging is less valuable.
