Have you ever had a cyst somewhere on your body?

Most dermatologist can klook at a cyst, or wart and tell if if is cancerous. But the cyst will be sent to the pathology dept. One good thing in your favor is they appear outside.

I had a cyst on my lower left rib cage several years ago and went to see a surgeon. He more or less ignored it and just told me to watch it and if it grows come back and I will remove it. I went to work one day and had on a polo shirt and this guy behind me wanted to know what that was sticking out of my back. The cyst had grown and when I went back to the Doctor he liked to have had a fit. I had to be placed in a hospital with surgery the next morning. The "cyst" had developed roots and had entered my muscle tissue and some back muscle had to be removed also.

I applied later for additional insurance and I had to have a "biopsy" report from that cyst. That is what scared me when I read the report. "Recent bleeding occurring, yellowish mass encased in "sack" like substance, and roots extending into the lower back muscle. I told the Doctior at least it want be "cancer", and he said how do you know? I told him I would have been dead eighteen months ago; he looked at me and said, Robert you are right.. Just remember if you have a growth anywhere and you go to a surgeon, it will be removed as to him it is not suppose to be there. Thankful that my friend noticed it pretruding through my shirt...

I had a cyst removed from my back/shoulder area--it looked like a pimple that never came to a 'head', but as it turns out it was a growth from a nerve fiber and that was the reason it had been irritating me. It was non-cancerous. The removal was done at my dermatologist office, no pain, and no problems afterwards. It required a couple of stitches. I hope your procedure goes smoothly and you get a good result as well. And....my doc. told me they sometimes grow back.

My best friend has a pylonital cyst and she has had two surgeries to have it fixed, it was not cancerous. If you are worried about that have them do a biopsy. That will tell you

iam sorry for jumping in to the women section,but i had to answer your question.my girl friend has 2 cyst on her ovaries,but they arent cancerious.one of them are inflammed,so i think she will have to go to the hosp.to have her ovaries removed.she is 36,and she took about every pill on the market,i think,and nothing helps to relieve the pain.she said the pain was awful and she cant hold anything down.sorry for interrupting your question.

i had one on my ovary six years ago and had it cut away i was 7 months pregnant at the time

my mum has one on the right side of her head she has had it looked at and they sead she could have it removed if she wanted or just leave it and get it looked at every 6 month her doc sead they are normally fine and not cancerous try not to stress and I'm sure you will be fine

Nope, but I'll keep you in my prayerz, sweetie...

Let me know how thingz turned out.
