Williams, 43, shared in a TikTok video on Tuesday that she first noticed a lump on her neck in May.
After undergoing tests, the mother-of-two said she learned the cyst was benign, but said she noticed it “kept growing” on her skin.
When the cyst grew to the size of a grapefruit, Williams said her doctors advised her to have it removed to prevent leakage or infection.
“So I’m taking it off,” Williams captioned the video, which showed clips of her in the hospital after surgery. “I feel so grateful and lucky that everything went well, and most of all I’m healthy.”
The end of the video shows Williams going to an American Girl doll star with her oldest daughter, Olympia, while still recovering from surgery.
“Mommy is suffering, but mommy has to keep showing up,” the athlete says in the video, in which she is seen wearing a bandage.
In addition to Olympia, Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian are also parents to a 1-year-old daughter named Adira.
Williams recently hosted the 2024 ESPY Awards in July, just two months after she first noticed the lump on her neck.
