Need to correct this it wasn't a cyst it was a fat tumor. and the tests showed that it was a rare kind and low grade and that the whole thing was cancer and now they've resculed him for what they call a clean up.
and all we can do is hope the get it all.
many thanks
Glenda

Hello

Without the specific diagnosis and more information from the pathology report I can not know what this is to comment.

Nevertheless I wish you and your son the best.

regards,
Leo
