HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Since the cyst is estimated at 8 mm which is less than a centimeter, it is possible that it developed in the last few months though technical error cannot be ruled out.
Most cysts are simple cysts that are not dangerous and only need to be monitored, this may be the case for you unless you are having related symptoms.
Your doctor may suggest this for you.
I hope this helps
