WHAT DOES CYSTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cystic

Cyst

A cyst is a closed sac, having a distinct membrane and division compared to the nearby tissue. Basically, a cyst is a cluster of cells that have grouped together to form a sac; however, the distinguishing aspect of a cyst is the cells forming the "shell" of such a sac, are distinctly abnormal when compared to all surrounding cells for that given location. It may contain air, fluids, or semi-solid material. A collection of pus is called an abscess, not a cyst. Once formed, a cyst may sometimes resolve on its own. Whether a cyst that fails to resolve may need to be removed by surgery will depend on what type of cyst it is and where in the body it has formed.

Definition of cystic in the English dictionary
