Extremely confused, need help. 68 yr old Asian male “stump pain”

My confusion came from the complete absence of enhancement.In my limited experience imaging stump neuroma over the years (prob < 10) they have all enhanced to some extent.

I’m satisfied that these are stump neuromas
Darryl Sneag responded: Yes, they don’t need to enhance. This is likely fibrous tissue that can have variable and delayed enhancement.

It took me a while to figure out this is an upper arm.There is a distorted smoothly tapered humeral stump.
The head is chronically dislocated.
There is marked atrophy and mild edema of residual upper arm muscles.

I really have NO CLUE….but I was wondering if these could be huge nerve sheath cysts somehow related to the neuropathic atrophy of the arm muscles?
What can these be?

There is no ulcer, tract….no enhancement.

Thanks.
