A member asked:
There was a 3.6 cm cyst discovered by accident on my spleen with peripheral calcification. does this mean it can burst or does peripheral calcification mean it's rock hard with only slight chance of rupture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calcification does not imply that it will burst or is rock hard nor makes it more or less likely to ruptore. It is natures way to try to heal
