I have been told (bone scan confirmed last week) that I have a lesion on my spine,T2-S1 this is all the info. I have been given at this time on the scan. EMG showed abnormal study with electrodiagnostic of a demyelinating sensorimotor, rt. peroneal neuropathy of moderate severity.....Prognosis: is a moderate severity lesion, decompression is recommended if possible to prevent worsening of the lesion. Is it incorrect to call this a mass or a tumor on my part? Thanking you in advance
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The information you have so far is very vague and does not specify what kind of lesion is in report to the spinal structures, especially the rural sac. Is it extramural or intramural? Each option has different radiologic differential diagnosis. Since there are sensorimotor and perineal involvement, it means that this mass or tumor (which means stupefaction from the Latin, so not necessary a malignancy) is compressive to the euro structure. Thus, reasonable to decompress these structure, remove as much as you can, and the most important clue in my opinion is to have a pathological examination of the mass, which would make a definite diagnosis, answering you on the prognosis. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
