It's common to have more than one cyst. Breasts are made up of lobules (milk-producing glands) and ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple), which are surrounded by glandular, fibrous and fatty tissue. Sometimes, fluid-filled sacs develop in the breast tissue; these are breast cysts. In texture, a breast cyst usually feels like a soft grape or a water-filled balloon, but sometimes a breast cyst feels firm. Breast cysts are a benign (not cancer) condition. They are one of the most common causes of a breast lump, and can develop in either one or both breasts. It's thought that breast cysts develop naturally as the breast changes with age, due to normal changes in hormone levels. It's common to have more than one cyst. Some tumours are classed as malignant or cancerous. Benign tumours are not cancerous and are not usually life-threatening. A benign tumour tends to be slower growing and does not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body the way cancer can. In most cases the outlook with benign tumours is very good.
