What is peripheral cyst?

A peripheral cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms at the edges of a tissue or organ, often seen in various parts of the body, including the jawbone or soft tissues. These cysts can be asymptomatic or may cause symptoms depending on their size and location. They are typically benign and can be diagnosed through imaging techniques like X-rays or MRI. Treatment may involve monitoring, aspiration, or surgical removal if they cause discomfort or complications.
