What Does 4mm T2 Hyperintense Focus With Contrast Enhancement At The Region Of The Right Posterior Suggest?

I just had MRI which says there is a 4mm T2 hyperintense focus with contrast enhancement see at the region of the right posterior 5th rid. In retrospect, it was present on the previous MRI of September 2013 and showed no serial change. This is probably benign. However, a slow growing metastatic lesion is not totally excluded. Suggest further follow-up MRI of the thorax in 6 months to monitor progress. What has probably caused this? How worst can it be? What tests can I do to confirm more about the above finding? Is there any treatment to stop further deterioriation now?

Hi
For confirmation of metastatic lesion a bone scan or pet scan are done, or ct guided aspiration cytology called _FNAC.
Consult an oncologist also apart from an ortho3 surgeon
Thanks
