The above link provides useful information of the different types of cancerous & non cancerous skin cysts/lumps/bumps and cysts found inside organs (liver, kidney, pancreas, eye, bone, etc).
Cysts found just under the skin (subcutaneous) are easily detectable and can be felt (palpable). The nature and size of a cyst is important. The exact nature and size of a cyst can be determined or approximated by imaging techniques.
Cysts found inside organs will need imaging techniques to view them. Imaging techniques are x-ray, ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging and (MRI). All imaging techniques are expensive and involve expensive equipment. Patient preparation will be required for imaging using US and MRI. X-ray generally does not require prior patient preparation.
Please note: In another blog managed by us, Dr Mohamed Tahir had written about cysts due to pork tapeworms.
