- 1囊腫。口語就說「長了囊腫」；較小或偏醫學時也可能聽到「囊泡」。
A cyst is a lump that grows in your body or under your skin and contains liquid (or sometimes soft matter). It is like a closed little bag. Some cysts stay small and quiet; some become sore, large, or in the way, and a doctor may drain them or take them out. People get them in many places: just under the skin, in an ovary, in a kidney, and elsewhere. In everyday English it is a doctor’s word that ordinary people also use when they have had one. It is not the same thing as cancer — though actually, the tidy line “cyst = safe, cancer = danger” is tidier than real life. A new lump still needs a doctor’s check, because you cannot see from the outside what kind of lump it is. Cyst is the noun; doctors also say cystic as the adjective.
