All-time tennis champion Serena Williams is sharing details about a recent health scare.

On Tuesday, the former professional tennis player took to TikTok and revealed that she had a benign cyst the size of a “small grapefruit” removed from her neck.

In the caption of the post, she wrote that she found the lump in May and went to see her doctor, who ordered an MRI test.

Once it came back, the test showed Serena Williams had a branchial cyst.

Williams added that the cyst was found in May and showed a video of herself in a hospital bed.

“They said I don’t need to get it removed if I don’t want,” Williams wrote. “So I did not 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,” Serena Williams captioned the video, which showed clips of her in the hospital after surgery. “I am feeling so grateful and fortunate everything worked out, and most of all, I’m healthy.”

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 did not 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 feelimg 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.

Serena Williams Had a Dynamic Career In Tennis

Serena Williams announced her retirement from tennis in 2022. She cited her desire to expand her family as a reason for her decision.

When on the court, she was damn near unstoppable.

She has 23 grand slam titles to her name, and together with sister Venus, she dominated a sport that was once deemed to belong to other races.

Williams also has 14 more doubles titles and was ranked No. 1 in the WTA rankings for 319 weeks, won four Olympic gold medals, and was voted Associated Press Athlete of the Year five times.
