A member asked:
Superficial lipoma confirmed in ultrasonograpghy on shoulder.3cm wide and 27mm tall.no necrosis or vascular calcification. advised to remove ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why?: I wonder why you were advised to remove this. If it is growing then i can understand that. Are they worried it is not benign? If they believe it is benign and it is so small, you may only want to remove it if the appearance of it bothers you or if it is painful.
