Do I Have A Tumor In My Thumb How Would You Tell The Difference Between A Fibroid Big Cell Tumor (benign) And A Lipoma?

How would you tell the difference between a fibroid big cell tumor (benign) and a lipoma? - do i have a tumor in my thumb

Myself wounded in the hand and several weeks after the show began to form under the skin. He has continued to grow and I had removed recently. Was 4 cm in diameter. The review of the literature shows me that it was a lipoma. The MD said the laboratory was referring to a fibroid, large cell. I injured the thumb on a previous occasion, and the reaction of my body, the growth of the tumor was again, about 1-1.5 cm in diameter. Not yet, was never removed.

A tumor blood vessels are still in it, does not mean occur with a lipoma. If the tumor is removed for analysis by a pathologist, he / she analyzes the types of cells and blood vessels and is therefore not possible to determine the type of tumor is it. Some studies can be made to see the tumor characteristics are ultrasound, CT and MRI. It depends on the affected area of the body and the patient's symptoms. You must see a doctor (surgeon), he / she the right person for the purpose of experimentation and eventually eliminating the tumor.

The fabric must be examined microscopically to determine the species.
