A member asked:

They said i had a enchondroma tumor in my head and a cyst in my spinal cord. nothing was done about it, is that okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Enchondroma is a type of benign bone tumor that originates from cartilage. Treatment vs. surveillance depends on many factors including extent of disease. Over time, a syringomyelia (spinal cord cyst) may enlarge, damaging your spinal cord and causing pain, weakness, or stiffness. Likely you will undergo serial imaging. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/syringomyelia/detail_syringomyelia.htm
