Serena Williams, the King of WTA, disclosed about her cyst surgery from her neck, on Wednesday. The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion shared a post on TikTok revealing she underwent surgery for the removal of a grapefruit-sized mass from the right side of her neck.

Later she took to X, and posted, - “I am still recovering, but getting better. Health always comes first,”. 

While she knew about the cyst from May , she didn't remove the lump immediately. However, it grew in size and after numerous tests, she underwent the removal process. 

“I found this big mass on my neck. I was mortified by it,” she stated in the video. 

“I got tests done. Everything you could imagine. Everything was negative. Turns out I had what they call a cyst, a brachial cyst to be exact. So I ended up having to get it removed. It was so big. It was the size of a grapefruit and it kind of hurt coming out.” 

Further, sharing the process, she said in the video “They had to put a drain in it because it was so much but everything worked out and I feel really happy to have worked with some great doctors. A little scared here but excited to move on to the next steps of healing and getting well.”
