If you have an uncomfortable cyst in your breast, your doctor may refer you for an ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration. This is a quick and easy procedure to drain fluid from the cyst. A radiologist will use ultrasound images to guide a small needle into the cyst and remove the fluid.
Surgery with ultrasound guidance Fine needle aspiration is a diagnostic procedure that involves inserting a tiny needle into a suspected lump to collect cells, which are then examined under a microscope to rule out cancer.
It is capable of aspirating cysts from the breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, liver, and lungs. The procedure uses no ionising radiation, has no known side effects, and allows for a clear view of soft tissues that are difficult to see on x-ray images.
The procedure is generally not painful. The results are as precise as when a tissue sample is collected surgically.
