UltraSound Results for Lump - Not Lipoma so what is it?

Titchou

Yes,but the lower body is an usual location for a lipoma. When do you see your doctor for the results?

Next week I have an appointment.

Anyone else have any thoughts? I've been trying to research online but of course google is a bit of a hypochondriac. Do strange bumps just grow sometimes? Without cancer?

Yes...lipoma is fatty tissue. What type of doctor are you seeing? At the very least, see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specialises in lumps. A dermatologist should be taking a needle draw or biopsy and have it sent to pathology for diagnosis. If your doctor brushes it off as nothing, be proactive to push for a specialist opinion and hopefully surgery.

Keep us updated regarding your follow-up.

I'm seeing my family Dr. for the results of the ultrasound. Regardless of what these bumps are, I do want options for getting them removed as they are quite gross and unsightly lol. I'm in Canada, so I'm unsure if it would be covered by our medical though, if it is deemed "elective" by my Doctor.

Really just wondering what other options there are for these lumps to be?? If they aren't lipoma, (as the ultrasound technician noted ) then I can't find any other options other than cancer. But I'm SURE there are some...

The only way to know is to have it biopsied or needle cell withdrawl and sent away for pathology.
Doctors couldn't even surmise without either cutting open and excising or with cell pathology...but regardles, most lumps should be removed and thoroughly checked...at least, I would personally push for it.
