cystic
Containing fluid sacs
Cystic means relating to or characterized by cysts—fluid-filled sacs that form in body tissues.
A cystic mass or cystic lesion contains such cavities.
Cystic also relates to the bladder or gallbladder: the cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the bile duct.
In cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder, thick mucus clogs the lungs and digestive system.
