This is the type of specific medical problem that requires a thorough specialist assessment of your options. A tumor is always a serious issue, even if it is in all likelihood benign. MRI is not 100% diagnostic of tumor type. Then again, many typical benign tumor findings are indeed best just followed, especially when they don't cause symptoms. If you don't agree with your current doctors, you may want a second opinion on those MRIs and the follow-up plan.

Thanks so much Dr. I figured as much! I asked the doctor ortho to do a biopsy of the cyst and he was kinda side steppin first he said he did then he said it wasa not feasible during the operation??? Then he said he did but didn tget a very good nor positive saample. I am going in to see hs assistant tomorrow and am going to ask what the deal is to take an xray at the minimum and MRI tooo asap...is this ok? What are the options? Why is the pain so excruciating when I turn my are in a certain direction? Agagi, when I rotate it outwatds away from my body it feels as though the blood circulation is getting cut off and the pain unbblieveable (sharp to dulll to squeezing etc???)
