Hi,thanks for writing to HCM. Dont panic and be brave. Let me put forward some basic points about bone tumours. Generally, well circumsribed tumours (by your description) are always slow growing tumours which are usually benign in nature (this is good news for you) and carry good prognosis. These can be surgically removed enmass without leaving any traces of it or a biopsy has to be done and material sent for histopathological examination to define its nature and treatment has to be made accordingly.
Wishing you a quick recovery. Regards
