Could Large Lengths Of Enchondroma Be A Matter Of Concern?

I had an xray done for my left knee on 15 Jan 2015. The report says that I may have an echondroma with the length of 6.4 cm. i am a bit worried since echondromas are less than 5 cm. Should I worry at this point? I get an MRI on 13 Feb 2015. I am active duty Army. Here it takes time for appointments and follow ups. My family is a bit worried.
