A member asked:

11 year old with 5 year history of lumbar pain and night sweats. 6 month history of unilateral foot and lower leg pain even at rest. headaches, clumsiness. mri showed uptake in lesser wing of sphenoid and lumbar lipoma. at a loss, help?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Missing info: I would wonder from the listed info where the lipoma is actually located and whether a neurosurgeon has been consulted about its removal. Such a long history in a growing child is worrisome if no intervention has been tried.
