A REVIEW OF THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF CYSTS DISEASES AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES
The cyst is a closed sac, with a distinct membrane and division over adjacent tissue. It may contain air, liquids, or semi-solid. In this review, we will highlight the types and causes of cysts, while presenting some of the currently approved treatment strategies. Ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET)CT represent the conventional imaging modalities employed for the diagnosis of cysts.There are many studies that point to many reasons that may lead to polycystic diseases, including hormonal disorders, various inflammations, and some diseases of the immune system, without neglecting these studies the role of unbalanced nutrition in causing these cysts. There is also an effective role for oxidative stress in the occurrence of such cysts. Modern management of cysts has been classified into minimally invasive, non-surgical, and advanced surgery. In addition many traditional and herbal remedies report clinical or preclinical success in cyst related conditions. Finally, we point out that cysts are the result of disorders in the body that can be benign without effects and others with pathogenic effects that reach the occurrence of some cancers. Accordingly, with the presence of treatments, prevention remains the best way to prevent their occurrence
