Hi AAAAA
Welcome to Healthcare Magic!
I think the cyst was just punctured during removal and could not be removed fully or you have developed a hematoma.
The fluid filled cysts are mostly benign but still you should get it excised and send it for biopsy examination. Some times they may be result of cancer metastasis.
You should review to a surgeon for it's excisional biopsy.
I hope this advise would be helpful for you.
