A member asked:
I had a u/s guided core needle biopsy done of a complicated cyst as my dr said he was being overly cautious. the cyst resolved during the procedure. what does this mean? what is the implication in terms of my results, if any? waiting for those?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would seem that the contents of the cyst were drained by the biopsy process which means the cyst collapsed and "resolved". Hopefully that is the case but some will seal off the opening and reform. At your age it is likely to be benign but I am sure that your doctor who tapped this cyst sent the contents off for pathology to confirm that issue. Ask him/her about that.
