What Does My Biopsy Report Indicate?

Following is my Biopsy report. Is it normal or is there something to worry about? Sections examined from incisional biopsy show fragments of fibrocollagenous tissue with focal salivary gland tissue. Heavy acute and chronic inflammation with focal foreign body type gaint cell reaction is seen. Fibroblastic proliferation with ectatic blood vessels are also identified. Few blood vessels appear thrombosed and congested. Surrounding areas of fibrosis are also present. Diagonsis: Incisional biposy: Acute and chronic non-specific inflammation, granulation tissue and fibroblastic proliferation

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much about cancer as per this report.
I guess this report is from salivary gland. And it clearly mentioned acute on chronic inflammation and fibroblast proliferation.
This is characteristics of chronic infection like TB.
So no need to worry for malignancy, treat infection. You may need antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs.
I find this answer helpful
