I am almost 34, Female and my urologist found a spot around my spleen. He said it wasnt a CYST and I was sent to an oncologist.
I got a PET scan and also bone marrow from my back/side was taken and they told me that it wasnt cancer and to come back in 4 months.
What could be around or on my spleen? The only facts I got was that if it WASNT a cyst then that's NOT GOOD but the oncologist said I am fine. I just want to know what could be on my spleen that is 2 inches(according to ultrasound)?
PLEASE OFFER ANY SUGGESTIONS..THANKS!

Dear Momof4
Is it around your spleen or in your spleen?! at which area from your spleen? The ultrasound can determine if it is a cyst or not...or if it is vascular or not.I am surprised that they jumped to PET scan before doing a simple CT scan with contrast? and you did have a bone marrow biopsy and they all came back negative? that is good.
I would advice to do a simple complete blood picture and LDH enzyme.get a CT scan to get a more precise picture .It could be from as simple as a blood clot from a previous traumato a lymph node,etc...it all depends on getting a CT scan and a better view of its nature and where it is at.
Best regards,
