Cysts can occur in almost any organ in the body. Sometimes they are an incidental finding when an ultrasound or CT scan is done for another reason and may never cause any problems. Such cysts are commonly seen in organs such as the liver, pancreas or kidney.

A cyst is a harmless sac-like growth in the deeper layers of the skin, which is filled with a soft, whitish brown material that sometimes oozes onto the skin surface. Cysts may form within any tissue in the body. Cysts within the lung generally are air-filled, while cysts involving the lymph system or kidneys are fluid-filled. Migrating parasites -- such as trichinosis , dog tapeworm ( Toxocara canis ), and echinococcus -- form cysts within muscle, liver, brain tissue, the lungs, and the eye.
