[1] [2] The presentation of symptomatic cysts depends on the cyst location and effects on nearby structures, including the heart, lungs, and esophagus.

Bronchogenic cysts are usually found in the middle mediastinum. Chest x-rays show a smooth density just in front of the trachea or main stem bronchi at the carinal level. When the cyst communicates with the tracheobronchial tree, the air-fluid level may be seen within the cyst. CT scanning is useful in localizing these cysts.
Total size <6 mm (<100mm 3) Total size >6mm (>100 3) Single nodule Ground glass opacity: No routine follow-up: CT after 6–12 months to check if persistent, then after 2 years and then another 2 years Part solid No routine follow-up: CT after 6–12 months: If unchanged and solid component remains <6mm: Annual CT for 5 years.
Pseudocysts are like cysts, but lack epithelial or endothelial cells. Initial management consists of general supportive care. Symptoms and complications caused by pseudocysts require surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scans are used for initial imaging of cysts, and endoscopic ultrasounds are used in differentiating between cysts and pseudocysts.
The most common kinds of cysts are epidermoid cysts, which form beneath the skin and are small, harmless bumps most commonly found on the face, neck, or trunk, according to the Mayo Clinic.
They most often arise on the chest and may also occur on the abdomen, upper arms, armpits and face. In some cases cysts may develop all over the body. The cysts are mostly small (2–20 mm) but they may be several centimetres in diameter. They tend to be soft to firm semi-translucent bumps, and contain an oily, yellow liquid.
