Just had a new medi port put in and when they did the xray they discovered a enchondroma ( benign tumor ) in my arm. My question is has anyone else been told they have this and is it lyme related or just my dumb luck.
thanks

I have a tumor in my shoulder , about the size of a golf ball. I've Had it for years. It's a fatty tumor and not related to lyme. I may have it taken out but it is not on my top 10 list at this time.

hey there. i have osteochondromas - benign tumors that are on the outside of the bone, whereas enchondromas are on the inside - and in my case it's a genetic bone condition, unrelated to lyme.

thank you both for your comments... thought maybe it was something else I could blame on the lyme disease !
