It's difficult to tell by gross appearance of the tumor and that's why pathology study is required. Please patiently wait for the final pathology report. Good luck to you.

Ruling out cancer is the main reason for the biopsy and you should not be concerned until having final results as the majority of such lesions prove to be benign.
