Cystic Lesion Thickness
A cystic lesion is an abnormal pocket of fluid within the body's soft tissue. The thickness of a cystic lesion will depend on the underlying cause and the size of the lesion. Generally, a cystic lesion is less than 5 centimeters thick. In rare cases, a cystic lesion can reach up to 10 centimeters in thickness.
Ultrasound imaging is a common diagnostic tool used to measure the thickness of a cystic lesion. Other imaging techniques, such as MRI and CT scans, can also be used to measure the thickness of a cystic lesion.
In some cases, a cystic lesion may require treatment. The type of treatment will depend on the underlying cause of the lesion and the size of the lesion. For small lesions, a doctor may recommend lifestyle changes or medication. For larger lesions, a doctor may recommend surgery to remove the lesion.
If you have a cystic lesion, it is important to speak with your doctor to determine the best course of treatment. Your doctor can help you determine the thickness of the cystic lesion and the best treatment options available.
