Most likely: Has it increased in size? Did the MRI from 5 years ago show most likely a lipoma(benign fatty tumor)? To confirm or if it changed you could always have a small biopsy performed. But if everything has remained exactly the same clinically then it most likely remains what it was 5 years ago
