Hi My Wife Fell End Of July On Her Leg
Question: Hi my wife fell end of july on her leg and the pain never went away. She ices it alot, even got a cortizone shot which didnt help. It was still lumpy after a few weeks so she got asked to do an mri before physical therapy
Mri results say she has large multilobular mass with traits comparable to a solid neoplasm and another mri with enhanced contrast is needed
Sounds scary- what does this mean? Could this be dangerous?

Brief Answer:
Suggests a cancerous mass.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A large multilobular mass which looks like a solid neoplasm is indicative of a possible cancerous mass. It is serious and needs an immediate attention of an orthopedician for further investigations and removal of the mass followed by biopsy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

i attached the report if it tells you anything else?
Brief Answer:
Report says the same.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The mass has not appeared due to the fall but it has been noticed now. May be the mass was smaller and present earlier also. I have seen the attached report and it suggests a cancerous mass. You need to consult an orthopedician for surgical excision biopsy to confirm.
Hope my answer is helpful.

is it possible its benign? what is best case and worst case scenario?
Brief Answer:
Only biopsy can confirm.
Detailed Answer:
It can be benign also but this can be confirmed only after a biopsy. The best is that it comes to be benign and is removed surgically. The worst case is that it is a malignant swelling.
