A member asked:

Am a breast cancer surv, now l/ quadrant ab sono: 'numerous benign appearing lipoma'.they are fast growing bothersome - 5mths. should i ask for biopsy?

Lipoma: Lipomas in general are not cancerous. There are rare cancerous lipomas. What i would suggest is serial monitoring within ultra sound like every 2 to 4 months. If it is growing yes obviously needs to be biopsied.

Possibly: Lipomas can grow larger, can cause pain. If they are doing either or both, see a surgeon for possible removal.
