American Serena Williams revealed on Wednesday that she had a grapefruit-sized cyst removed from her neck and is recovering well from the operation.

The former world number 1 in women's tennis, aged 43, specified in a video on the social network Tik Tok that she had discovered a lump on the right side of her neck in May and that an MRI had established that it was a branchial cyst (benign lump).

“I am still recovering but I am getting better. Health comes first”, posted Williams, who has 23 Grand Slam singles titles to her name.

“I was mortified by it,”

The younger Williams sister didn't have the cyst removed immediately after she discovered it, but only after it grew larger. “I discovered a large lump on my neck and I was mortified by it,”, she continues in the video. “I had tests done and they all came back negative. I ended up having to have it removed because it was so big. It was the size of a grapefruit and it hurt when it was taken out. -video-id=”7426155598523157806″ data-embed-from=”oembed” style=”max-width:605px; min-width:325px;” data-class=”tiktok-embed”> @serena

Back in May I found a lump showing on my neck. I immediately went to the doc got a mri and was told I have a brachial cyst. Have you ever heard of that? They said I don’t need to get it removed if I don’t want. So I didn't get it but it kept growing. I decided to get more test and 3 test and one biopsy later everything is still negative but doctors advised I get it removed asap because it was the size of a small grapefruit and it could get infected or worse leak. So this is me removing it. I am feeling so grateful, and fortunate everything worked out, and most of all I’m healthy. I still made it to American doll with Olympia as promised. And yes all is ok. ud83dude4f?ud83dude4f? #fyp #foryourpage #serenawilliams #mom
