The Sistrunk procedure is a surgical operation used to remove a thyroglossal duct cyst. It involves excising the cyst as well as a portion of the hyoid bone and the tract that connects the cyst to the base of the tongue. This procedure helps prevent recurrence of the cyst by removing potential residual tissue.

A facetal cyst is a type of cyst that exists in the lumbar spine. This type of cyst is also referred to as a synovial cyst.

Cyst can turn out to be a pustule but a pustule cannot be a cyst.

It could be a lot of things such as a thyroglossal duct cyst, branchial cleft cyst, thyroid nodule, lymph node (which may be serious or harmless), or other cysts and skin masses.

Seeing exactly where it is and examining it will go a log way to telling what it might be. If it has been present for 6 months it is time to let a doctor look at it.
