Is Tumor On The Tendon Growing Towards The Bone A Cause For Worry?

Hello, I have had a large lump in the crease of my arm for a couple of months now. I visited my doctor on several occasions to be told it was a cyst. I went for an ultrasound scan yesterday and was told that this growth has a blood supply and that it is a tumour on the tendon and is heading towards the bone. I am awaiting an urgent consultation with a specialist. Should I be worried?g

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.. Most tumors of the tendon sheath are benign.. As it is large and close to the bone you will need further imaging with an MRI scan followed by a biopsy and then surgery... The final diagnosis will be provided by the pathology report.. Hope this answered your query...
