Breast cysts are fluid-filled sacs that are typically benign (non-cancerous) and do not increase the risk of breast cancer. However, in rare cases, a cyst may contain a solid component or develop a thickened wall that can be concerning for cancer.
It is important to note that breast cysts do not turn into tumors, but it is possible for a solid component within a cyst to be a tumor. If a solid component is identified within a cyst, further evaluation may be necessary to determine if it is cancerous or not.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if you notice any changes in your breast tissue or have concerns about breast cysts or any breast lumps. They can perform a thorough evaluation and recommend appropriate testing or treatment if necessary.
