"Cyst" is merely a general term for a fluid-filled structure, which may or may not represent a tumor or neoplasm (new growth). If it is a tumor, it may be benign or malignant .

Alaskan Wild Salmon This cold water fish is high in the omega-3 essential fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). DHA and EPA increase PGE1 and promote the PGE3 pathway. Eat Alaskan wild salmon 2-3 times per week, or substitute with other cold water fish such as mackerel, sardines or trout. 2.
