I was just wondering, because I once had one on one of my lymph nodes. I remember that it sort of felt like a little hard knot. Does it look sort of like a stone or a calcium deposit or what?

Click here to see some pictures of cysts. I'm warning you, though, you might not want to see them:

Depends on what it's made up of -- there are different types of cysts.
A cyst is a closed pocket or pouch of tissue. It can be filled with air, fluid, pus, or other material.
