Can A Growing Cyst Be Possibly Stem Of A Malignant Cancer?

If a person has a cyst that grows from marble size to baseball size within a few weeks and a co-worker lances it, is there a possibility that if diagnosed later it is a stem of a malignat cancer, could that cancer have caused an infection within the body that would shut down all organ systems?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Growing cyst can be benign or it can be malignant. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that cyst. It will give you exact diagnosis whether it is cancer or not. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Malignancy decrease the immunity and it causes infection.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
