Ganglion vs sarkoma

I want to ask what is the differences between a ganglion and a sarcoma.. I dont mean in the medical aspect but how a patient can know the difference Thank you.

Hi Panos,

The only real way is through a biopsy. Benign tumors like a ganglion have physical characteristics that differ from malignant tumors. An MRI can sometimes differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, but again the only real way is to biopsy the growth and let the pathologist tell us what it is.
