Is it possible for a "fibroma of the tendon sheath" (tumor) on my pinky finger to not grow at all? i had it for 3 years and see no signs of growth.

Yes: These types of growths may be very slow growing or may not grow at all for years.

Yes.: The benign fibroma may stabiilize forever, or may have a growth spurt anytime. The fact that it has not changed in three years is a good sign!
