Serena Williams has cyst ‘the size of a small grapefruit’ removed from her neck

Serena Williams has revealed she recently had a branchial cyst on her neck “the size of a small grapefruit” removed.

The 23-time grand-slam champion, who last played competitively at the 2022 US Open, posted a video on her TikTok channel on Wednesday which briefly showed the procedure.

Williams confirmed all tests on the cyst came back negative, but she was advised to get it removed and is on the mend.
