Having the form or shape of a cyst; resembling a bladder or hollow sac.
From Latin cystis (bladder) combined with -form (shaped like). This term describes any structure, whether in biology or medicine, that has the characteristic rounded, hollow appearance of a cyst.
Cystiform is a descriptor that works across medicine, biology, and even geology—you can have cystiform parasites, cystiform cavities in rocks, and cystiform organs in animals, which shows how useful a simple shape descriptor becomes when something appears in nature over and over again.
