No: If the MRI wasn't ordered to stage a malignancy that you all ready have. The radiologist favors something benign. Most lesions that are distinct on radiology in the spleen are usually benign hemangiomas. The spleen is a common place for hemangiomas. There are always exceptions, so it is a good idea to follow it up over time with several more scans to make sure it doesn't grow or change.

Incidental finding: This small finding on your MRI is called an incidental finding. Okay to talk to your doc about it. Small cysts and benign incidental findings are common with the increase in imaging. Be well.
