Welcome to EmpowHER and thanks for your question. not all breast cyst are malignant. But, a Breast ultrasound can help your doctor determine whether a breast lump is fluid-filled or solid. Based on what they see on the ultrasound, your doctor might recommend a biopsy. Fine-needle aspiration. During this procedure, your doctor inserts a thin needle into the breast lump and attempts to withdraw (aspirate) fluid. If fluid comes out and the breast lump goes away, your doctor can make a breast cyst diagnosis immediately.
