Need help. Breast cyst.
My sister has had a small cyst-like swelling above her left chest for a long time. Recently, it has become visible from the outside and is causing her pain. We went to the doctor and had a scan done, which I’ve attached. The doctor suggested surgery to remove it, but when we asked about doing a biopsy or FNAC, he said it wasn’t necessary. We are still worried about it. Should we insist on a biopsy or FNAC, or is it safe to proceed as the doctor advised? Please help for a second opinion.

Hi
How old is your sister?
Any family history of malignancy?
Clinical examination also matters to decide about biopsy
