General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Because of the reaccumulation of the cyst/lump after repeated aspiration, a lumpectomy was done in your case, specially when the culture test was also inconclusive, to get a tissue diagnosis for a confirmation. Further management would depend on the tissue diagnosis, and so would have to wait till the report comes in.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
