<s>[INST] I m a 32 yr old female. I had a large cyst removed from my left breast when I was 14. Another cyst was removed in my 20 s about 6 inches north of the first cyst. I suspect I have a cyst in my jawline but have not been seen. I believe there is a cyst on my right ear lobe and a cyst in the back portion of my knee. I know it s not suggested to have them removed unless necessary. I m curious would they be from the same original location or are they different types of cysts unrelated? Is there anything I can do to prevent this. I m thin and healthy. I have hypothyroid but I have never been overweight. The only reason I had the other cysts removed because they were over 3 inches in width and continued to grow. [/INST] Hellos per the description of the clinical scenario I would say that having a cyst is very common pathology, but having multiple cysts at different sites is a little rare.  However I would like to say that although cystic lessons are very common, but their cause is mainly idiopathic, and that's why it is not possible to counteract its probability. The definitive management for any kind and of cyst is surgical excision and hence if one has a cyst, it must be excised out before any complication arises. Thank you. </s>
