The diagnosis and treatment of cysts of the breast are described. Surgical intervention in the vast majority of affected patients may be avoided by pneumocystography, a procedure involving puncture of the cyst, aspiration of its contents, air insufflation and interpretation of radiographs obtained in at least two planes. A smooth inner wall of the cyst indicates the common benign lesion. Irregularity of the inner wall is an absolute indication for surgical excision of the lesion.
