Child Having Cyst On Abdominal Area. Treatment?

My grand daughter 4 years old has 1 to 3 cysts on top of her abdominal area. She recently hit her tummy and they fill with blood getting very large on top of her tummy. An ultrasound confirmed it was a cyst, not a hernia and no organs involved. They advised having a pediatric plastic surgeon remove them as soon as possible. I am concern about the largeness of this and amount of blood still in this huge mass . Should she be seeing more of a pediatric specialist or surgeon rather than a plastic surgeon?

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your 4 years old grand daughter has 3 cysts over the anterior abdominal wall confirmed on ultrasound scanning.
Most likely these cyst may be Sebaceous cysts .One of the cyst recently got injured due to hit over abdomen resulting into getting it filled with blood.
Please consult qualified general Surgeon for clinical examination and get it excised in Toto .
It should get cured within a week,
Thanks and Regards.
