the abdominal organs are surrounded by a kind of skin called the "peritoneum". unlike our superficial skin, this peritoneum is not supplies nerves for touch, temperature etc. however a part of this peritoneum is supplied by pain nerve fibres and that will be stimulated if the cyst grows very rapidly.
but i think even though ur frien had this cyst, it must ve been for a long time and would ve grown slowly...hence she never felt it.

My sister had a cyst the size of a cantaloupe before she started having pains. The cyst probably didn't aggravate any nerves.
