What are the different types of breast cysts?

There are three types of breast cysts:

• Simple breast cyst: Filled entirely with fluid, simple cysts are always noncancerous.
• Complicated breast cyst: A complicated cyst has some solid fragments floating in the fluid. Your healthcare provider may want to perform a breast cyst aspiration or needle biopsy (withdrawing fluid with a needle for analysis).
• Complex breast cyst: This type of cyst is worrisome because it appears to have some solid tissue, which could be cancerous. If you have this type of cyst, your healthcare provider will do a needle biopsy.
