One of the most important factors used to determine the clinical suspicion of malignancy of an adnexal mass is the sonographic appearance of the mass. [2] Indications that the mass is at a higher risk of being malignant include the presence of loculations, nodules , papillary structures, septations , or a size greater than 10 cm. [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
The diagnosis may be confirmed with ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [3] Treatment is initially with supportive care. [1] If this is not effective aspiration and steroid injection or surgical removal may be carried out. [1] Around 20% of people have a Baker's cyst. [2] [3] They occur most commonly in those 35 to 70 years old. [4]
The diagnosis of pancreatic MCN is typically achieved with imaging. If the results of imaging (CT/MRI) are unclear, then endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the cyst may be necessary. [1] Cyst fluid analysis may help distinguish potentially premalignant mucinous cysts (MCNs and IPMNs), from benign non-mucinous cysts. [1]

For cysts from 1–1.9 cm follow-up is suggested with MRCP or multiphasic CT in 1–2 years. If stable at follow-up, the interval of imaging follow-up is increased to 2–3 years. Cysts from 2–2.9 cm have more malignant potential, and a baseline endoscopic ultrasound is suggested, followed by MRCP or multiphasic CT in 6–12 months.
Complex or malignant effusions are more heterogeneous in appearance, meaning they may have variations in echo on ultrasound. [5] TTE can also differentiate pericardial effusion based on the size. Although it's difficult to define size classifications because they vary with institutions, most commonly they are as follows: small <10, moderate 10 ...

Cervical thymic cyst is a very rare pathology that is often incidentally found due to its asymptomatic nature. The patient usually notices a neck mass that grows slowly which triggers them to see a clinician and be admitted to the hospital. [3] However, it can cause symptoms as it grows in size and compresses on other organs.
