Mild Lobular Lesion

I have a blue lump on my left arm in my elbow region, It's been hurting and growing so I went in to get an MRI done, here are the results:

"In the T2 weighted sequences, in the region of the medial epitrochlear region, there is a mildly lobular lesion measuring approximately 24 x 7 mm. This lies in the subcutaneous tissue, and may enhance slightly in a peripheral fashion. This is not associated with enlargement of the vascular structures, and is not consistent with AVM. Lymphangioma is in the differential diagnosis; however more likely conseration includes adenopathy. Malignancy is considered unlikely, but cannot be completely excluded. Excision should be considered in further evaluation."

Anyone help me on what this might mean?

Lymphangioma versus adenopathy.  Slight possibility of malignancy.  It should be removed so tissue evaluation can be done.  

Definition for lymphangioma:
benign angioma consisting of a mass of lymphatic vessels.  More »

What is adenopathy? Find the definition for adenopathy at WebMD
dictionary.webmd.com/terms/adenopathy - CachedSwelling or morbid enlargement of the lymph nodes.

So it should be removed for evaluation, but it's probably going to be fine.
