Tinybump near subcutaneous vessels in arm, area and vessels normal on mri & xray.can mri miss cancer/sarcoma? what else can it be if imaging is normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, of course it ca: Every test has a resolution as to what it is capable of detecting. The definitive test for solid tumors is the tissue biopsy. The pathologist will then examine the tissue sample under the microscope and give you the final diagnosis.
