Brief Answer:
Answer given below

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Leiomyoma is usually benign.
GIST can be benign or malignant.
FNAC is usually done and if found malignant, it is removed.
Prognosis can be said only after knowing whether it is benign or malignant.

Having said that, since the lesion is the same for the past 2 years, it is more likely to be a benign lesion only and there is no need for removal.
Periodic follow up is all that is required.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
