Dr. Edison Wong answered

Specializes in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine

Benign: It is most likely either coincidental or due to the inflammatory process during your healing of the replacement. Either way, it is benign and not a sign of a malignancy, poor surgical technique or a precursor to any other medical conditions.
