Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
If there is no features of cancer and no symptoms then this should not be removed unless it grows to more than 10cm in size or symptoms occur.
If there is doubt about malignancy then MRI scan should be done for more accurate diagnosis.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
