Hi!I have this inborn cyst situated on my Lt. cheek. The doctor told me that it was in the mastoid region, confirmed when I had an Xray during younger years. I am now 41 years old but its not really affecting my health. My only worries is if the cyst will grow later in life and the chance of becoming cancerous. I understand my cyst is probably benign but Im scared that it will develop into something else later in life. Thanks for your help.
You need not be worried about this cyst getting converted into cancer as that is unheard of. At the most, this cyst can increase in size and cause pressure symptoms at which time you can get it removed. However, if it is really bothering you, then you can get it removed even now by a simple surgery.
