A cyst can be aspirated and the fluid should be submitted for cytological examination to rule out cancer. Cysts in the breast are generally not cancer.

Mammogram and ultrasound showed a 4.8 cm cyst in left breast that appears to be benign. Its been three weeks and now I no longer can feel the cyst at all. Is it possible for a cyst that large in size to go away on its own?
