A member asked:

Mom had a lipoma on her shoulder for long time. it has gotten bigger and painful. doctors suggested no surgery. can this turn cancerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lipoma: There is very little chance of malignant transformation; the more likely explanation is that it was traumatized and now the dead tissue is causing pain and swelling. If it doesn't resolve, it should be removed.
