I just had an MRI on thigh "mass"
(recently had an ultrasound that revealed
nothing, they didn't even see a mass), I
was told by my doctor that it would be
best to to an MRI and that they would
inject a liquid...so I get to my MRI and
she put the "thing in" so it s ready when
it s time for the injection during the
MRI, but they came back in after 20
minutes and said oh we won't need to
inject after all, what does that mean???
They also told me when I went in that I
would need to go for a x ray after the MRI
and they decided not to send me for that
either??? I am a little worried and would
like your opinon, I am not sure if I
should think this is good news or bad...
Thanks so much for taking time to respond.
Greatly appreciated.

So, did you have an MRI without
injection?
How does this "mass" look like?
Is it like protruded bump on your thigh?
Were you suggested biopsy?

Yes, MRI without injection (they decided
not to do the injection, see above)
Mass is 4 x 4 cm on the back of the thigh
above the knee. You can't see the so
called mass that much, but it's there. As
of yet, no biopsy has been suggested.
Still awaiting results from the MRI.
Hope this answers your questions.

Does this mass feel like enlarging
painless soft-tissue mass located deeper
in thigh muscle?
Are you experiencing malaise feeling?
This can be one of the most common
soft-tissue sarcomas, that in almost 60%
affects lower extremities.
