A needle biopsy, in which a needle is inserted into the lump and fluid or cells are withdrawn, can also be used to identify cysts.

Flory, at Stanford since 1961, is currently studying the polymers in living organisms. Because skin, bone and muscle fibers are made up of long-chain molecules, his work could conceivably lead to the day when man will be able to simulate them in laboratories...
