A cyst extractor allows a medical practitioner to retract, aspirate, ligate and amputate a cyst or cystic mass within a patient under regional anaesthesia and minimally invasive incision. A cyst extractor may include a transparent tubular member with a cap coupled to one end. The cap may have at least one view port that has a magnifying lens. The cap may also have a needle port through which a needle is inserted to puncture the cyst. A trap may be in fluid communication with the transparent tubular member. A suction post is in communication with the trap in order to pull the contents of an aspirated cyst into the trap. A light post containing a light source may be connected to the transparent tubular member in order to illuminate the interior of the extractor. A ligature deployer and a cutting wire may also be coupled to the tubular member.
