Abstract
Physical examination of any swelling is the first step in making a diagnosis. Many a times we see a patient with a spherical swelling, which is usually a cyst. The interpretation of physical signs should be based on sound principles of physics. In the present paper, we explain physical characteristics of a swelling (cyst) using principles of fluid mechanics.Entities:
