Mimi, most of the many cysts I've had over the years were on the outside of my breasts.  The only way to tell if you have a cyst, a solid benign lump, or a cancerous tumor is to see the doctor.  Fortunately, a sonogram can usually distinguish between a cyst and a solid tumor, which helps avoid unnecessary biopsies.  And the vast majority of lumps that do need a biopsy turn out to be benign.  You need to make an appointment to get this checked out, but try not to panic.
