A little confused. lipoma or liposcaram . which one has a main tumor( hub) that has long leders coming off it. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benign vs. cancer: Lipomas are a benign fatty growth that sometimes can have benign projections of fatty lumps under tissue plains. Liposarcoma is a cancerous growth & is often confined within its own soft covering & often pushes away other tissues and organs as it grows.
