Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thanks for the query. Well, pain is not specific sign and most cysts in breaks are painful on touch, especially if this is inflammation cyst. So to determine malignancy you need to do some tests such as ultrasound or biopsy. If you have these cysts for long time then it is not likely to be malignant. But frequent follow up is definitely recommended. Wish you good health. Regards
