A member asked:
If a cyst or mass or tumor is soft and not hard nd small nd not big does that make it a chance that it might not be malignant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generalities: You cannot tell by these characteristics. All malignant tumors start small. Some benign lesions calcify and turn as hard as stone. When concerned, do a biopsy.
