Hard Lipomas I Have A Small Semi Hard Lump In My Arm...may Be Lipoma?

I have a small semi hard lump in my arm...may be lipoma? - hard lipomas

My doctor has me for an ultrasound and when I called to the results that they want to get me back so they can see on the MRI. They do not usually such a case, possibly a lipoma, or whether something else?
Why do I want further to get an MRI?

If you break the term lipoma, Fat Lip WCO = = average tumor or growth. The suffix-oma may be benign or malignant. So, what I think is a tumor of the fat.

Your doctor will rule out many tests, nothing really serious, you're lucky, a physician who is to have depth.

He mentioned the possibility of a ganglion? Nodes can have the same properties as lipomas, but the difference is a ganglion is a collection of nerves in one place. After individuals nodes can come and go.

I am sure that you tell your doctor right diagnosis. Good luck!

They have a great doctor. I have these bumps on my arms and legs. It can be painful sometimes, but not painful in others. They gave me an ultrasound and the diagnosis of lipoma. I wish my doctor prescribed an MRI to be sure. Go to the test, in fact, for your peace of mind. My prayers are with you.
