@joysideris1, welcome. Hopefully @pandamom will return to connect with you and answer some of your questions and share experiences.

I understand you are worried about lack of monitoring for steroid cell tumors. Did your doctor explain why continued monitoring wasn't recommended?

@colleenyoung I assume because it was so small? "Microscopic focus of benign steroid cell tumor," is how it was reported on pathology. I understand it was caught extremely early incidentally, but it's rarity and behavior are concerning to me. I would love to find someone who has treated these, especially in their malignant form considering tumors that were thought to be benign on pathology have metastasized after removal. I would like either reassurance or recommended surveillance.
