Anything growiing qu: It it is growng quickly it is likely something else. Lipomas typically grow slowly if at all. I would advise that you get it rechecked by your doctor who is monitoring it for you(i hope). Soft tissue cancers can fool you, so i would not delay a check up to confirm if it is indeed a lipoma or could it be some type of soft tissue tumor(like sarcoma).
