i don't think that it is appropriate for anybody to comment on this because:
1. majority of population of this forum are not doctors YET (meaning US MD licensee)
2. assuming there is a doctor with MD plate on his car - it is very unethical (to my inderstanding) to comment on PART of the byopsy without seeing patient OR having complete (relevant) medical records at least.
3. besides, it is not enough to get the answer to the question WHAT IS IT?, it is much more important WHAT TO DO? and HOW TO DO IT? and that is why you have appointment tomorrow
i don't beleive that we are in a position to elaborate on this matter
sorry, but it's best for your Dad and you to wait to see YOUR doctor
good luck

p.s. i used "we" in behalf of this forum, but it could be that i am the only one with this opinion
