Biopsy will tell: Now that a biopsy has been taken, there is no need for speculation; your biopsy result should be available witin 1-2 days. Malignant lesions usually infiltrate the surrounding tissue and thus are difficult to move around.

Yes,: a benign mass such as focal fibrosis can be relatively fixed. A fixed mass does not automatically mean it is mailgnant.
