Bone Tumor: There is something in your right pelvic bone that needs further evaluation. Big question is benign vs malignant. Can't hazard a guess without being able to see the images. A bone biopsy may be required for definitive diagnosis. Good luck.

More information: Mixed lesion consists of dense bone and areas of bone with reduced density. Mr suggested to better define contents of lesion, surrounding margins, and changes in the soft tissues around bone, and changes in adjacent bone marrow. A lot of times these lesions according to the imaging results eventually have to be biopsied to be specific about diagnosis, and confirm benign or malignant character.
