Lung cyst are usually benign and not trouble much. Unless and untill you are symptomatic nothing to be done. In my opinion you should folloow up with your doctor yearly. Keep these things in mind. If the cyst get infected you will have fever , chest pain, cough etc. Sometimes if the cyst enlarges it can compress the surrounding structures and causes symptoms. Than you require surgery.
