List of Similarities
- 1Both refer to sac-like structures in the body.
- 2Both can contain fluid or other materials.
- 3Both can be caused by infections, injuries, or genetic conditions.
- 4Both can be diagnosed through medical imaging or biopsy.
- 5Both can require medical treatment depending on their size and location.
What is the difference?
- 1Size: Cysts are generally larger than vesicles and can grow to several centimeters in diameter.
- 2Content: Vesicles contain specific molecules or substances, while cysts can contain a variety of materials such as fluid, gas, or semi-solid matter.
- 3Location: Vesicles can occur on the skin or inside cells, while cysts can occur in various organs and tissues throughout the body.
- 4Symptoms: Cysts can cause pain, discomfort, or other symptoms depending on their location and size, while vesicles may be asymptomatic or cause mild itching or irritation.
Remember this!
Vesicle and cyst are both sac-like structures that can occur in the body. However, they differ in their origin, size, content, location, and symptoms. Vesicles are small membranous sacs that can contain specific molecules or substances and can occur on the skin or inside cells. Cysts, on the other hand, are larger closed sacs that can contain fluid, gas, or semi-solid matter and can occur in various organs and tissues throughout the body. They can cause pain, discomfort, or other symptoms depending on their location and size.
