Complicated vs complex cyst

[Stephen Bird]

Hi, not sure if I have missed this part – What’s the difference between complicated cyst and complex cyst?

[Stephen Bird]

I think of them as the same thing.
I suspect I use the terms interchangeably.
A “simple cyst” is anechoic, has a crisp posterior wall, demonstrates acoustic enhancement and is avascular.
Any variation from this eg. Internal echoes, septation(s) solid components etc would make me describe it as a complicated or complex cyst.
