Serena Williams opens up about health scare: Doctors remove grapefruit-sized cyst – See video

Serena Williams recently shared in a TikTok video that she experienced a health scare, requiring surgery to remove a cyst from her neck, which had grown to the size of a grapefruit.

The 43-year-old retired tennis star revealed that she first discovered the cyst last May.

Although initial tests confirmed that it was a benign cyst, Williams noticed that it continued to grow.

When the cyst reached the size of a grapefruit, her doctors advised her to have it removed due to concerns that it could either leak the fluid it had accumulated or become infected.

“So, here I am after the removal. I’m thankful and fortunate that everything went well and that I’m healthy,” Williams said in the video.
