Cysts - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Definition A cyst is a sack that is not a normal part of the tissue where it is found. These can occur anywhere on the body and can present at any age. Cysts usually contain a gaseous, liquid or semisolid substance. They may be of different sizes. The size vary so much that sometimes they are visible by microscope and sometimes they grow so large that they displace the normal organ or tissue such as an ear. The outer wall of Cyst is called a capsule. This type of cyst may, for instance, protect a parasite from the churning acid of the stomach so it may pass through to the intestines unharmed where it can then break out. At surgery a cyst can usually be excised in its entirety; poor surgical technique or previous infection leading to scarring and tethering of the cyst to the surrounding tissue may lead to rupture during excision and removal.
