CodeDisplayDefinition
Cyst CystA cyst is a sac-like pocket of membranous tissue that contains fluid, air, or other substances. Cysts can grow almost anywhere in the body or under the skin. Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI.
CystComplex Cyst complexComplex cysts have irregular or scalloped borders, thick walls, and some evidence of solid areas and/or debris in the fluid. These solid areas echo back the sound waves from the ultrasound. A complex cyst is sometimes aspirated, or drained with a fine needle, so that the fluid inside can be tested. If blood or any unusual cells are present, further testing may be needed to rule out breast cancer. [https://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/benign/cysts] Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
CystComplicated Cyst complicatedComplicated cysts are "in between" simple and complex. Although they share most of the features of simple cysts, they tend to have some debris inside them and echo back some of the ultrasound waves. However, they don't have the thick walls or obvious solid components that a complex cyst has. [https://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/benign/cysts] Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
CystMicro Cyst microA microcyst Is a sac-like pocket of tissue that contains fluid, air, or other substances. A Microcyst is small and less than 2-3 mm and are often in clusters and only show up on a mammogram or ultrasound. Valid for the following modalities: US.
CystOil Cyst oilOil cysts are filled with fluid that may feel smooth and soft/squishy. Oil cysts are caused by the breakdown of fatty tissue. Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
CystSimple Cyst simpleA simple cyst is a sac-like pocket of membranous tissue that only contains clear fluid. Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
CystWithDebris Cyst with debrisA cyst that is filled with debris and fluid substance. It Is either considered a complex or complicated cyst. The type of debris determines what kind of cyst. Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
