My understanding is that we'll do a sono to determine if the mass is solid or a cyst. Then we proceed with an aspiration/evacuation of the cyst.
If for some reason we cannot determine with a sonogram that there is a cyst there or we cannot do a sonogram, we're going to do a FNA of the mass.
I guess the word "aspiration" is confusing here ... FN aspiration actually is a biopsy, the needle removes a tiny portion of the tissue (usually few cells) for cytology. The aspiration of a cyst though, means to evacuate the liquid inside ... Here we don't need to do a biopsy (FNA, for example), unless there is a residual mass after aspiration.
