The diagnosis of a palpable cyst is made by means of mammography and ultrasound. The accuracy of ultrasound in the diagnosis of cysts is very high. Patients with palpable painful cysts and cysts with a diameter of more than 2 cm should be subjected to cyst aspiration followed by pneumocystography. This procedure provides optimal diagnosis and treatment.
