Can Patch Birth Control Cause Tumor In Muscles Of Arm?

Hi I have they believe a fatty tumor on or under my arm, I went an got a MRI an it showed the tumor to be bigger then I thought an it starts under the skin an goes around the muscle an ends up under the muscle to the bone now within the the 6 months I had fell outside but one time that stands out is that when I did fall I was holding on to my truck door an ended up slipping under the truck but the arm save me from going under in the meantime I tore a few muscles so my arm is really been hurting that s why I ended up going to my dr. Now sent me to another an I have a app. In a few days, my question is this tumors has been there at least 6 yrs that s when I found it so I am sure it s been there longer I used to take the patch birth control an where the tumor was is where I used to put the patch each time, do you think it could of caused the tumor? Thanks for your time Kathy

Hi
It may not be due to patch birth control.
I may suggest to consult orthopaedic doctor.An FNAC biopsy should be done for assessment of nature of growth.if it's been there for long time and not growing, likely to be benign...but it should be confirmed on FNAC biopsy.
