Question 2

Fatty Lumps?: Abdominal "pouch" is a collection of defuse fatty deposits vs the elbow fat most likely is a lipoma. Best to see your PMD for referral to PS for evaluation and surgical options.

Question 4

i had a lump in my arm. i got it removed and the doctor said that it was a fatty lump. now i have more in my legs.he didn't send the lump for biopsy. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Have these taken out: If you are concerned ask doctors to take one out and send to lab for pathology report
as a rule most tissues removed are sent for histology.Most fatty lumps called lipoma are not removed always.

Question 5

i have round swelling like lumps on arms. as little as an inch in side and 1 cm thick maximum. is it fat lump? how can it be reduced and prevented

Accepted Answer

: If these are movable they are probably benign fatty growths( lipomas) as you suggest.  The cause of lipomas are unknown and tend to run in families. I don't think they can be reduced in size or prevented.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Fat &amp; lumps: You can not spot lose fat. If you have actual lumps - would recommend medical evaluation of these.

breastfeeding 3 month old. 30 lbs overweight. felt arm pit side and noticed very glandular tissue, almost like tiny fat lobules on side of armpit  into my armpit. doesn't feel like one lump but rather all kind of soft/lumpy there.is this fat tissue?

Accepted Answer

Breast tissue: Any new lumps, masses or skin changes in the breast should always be evaluated by your doctor. During breast feeding it is common for the breast tissue in the axilla (arm pit) to expand. This can be very normal. Have your doctor do an exam to confirm.

Question 8

ultrasound comfirms bloodflow in solid lump near elbow in fatty tissue.what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific finding: The cause of the lump remains unclear without information regarding the borders and echo texture of the lesion. Whether there are calcifications and the pattern of blood flow are also important. 
The fact there is flow in the lesion excludes some diagnoses but there are still many possibilities. Other modalities like MRI may also provide info.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Hard to: tell could be a hidradenitis or cyst or carbuncle or  an enlarged lymphnode

im a young male 25, on both of my pecs by the nipple about an inch away towards the armpit. there are these almond size lumps that pop out of my chest area that i can push in. are the nodes, gyno, fat deposits? what doctor do i see?

Accepted Answer

Chest Lumps: Please start by seeing you family doctor.  One possibility is that they are sebaceous cysts which are easily treated if needed.  Peace and good health.
