[|Human|] Hi, I have a Lipoma bump on my back and its been there for many years. I got it scanned a few years ago to make sure I knew what it was and the guy told me it was just a fatty deposit and if it begins to grow or hurt to go see my doctor. A few weeks ago, it started to hurt quite a bit and now there is bruising around it, but the pain has subsided. I m just wondering if it can be removed? Or if its something more serious?
[|AI|]  Hi! Nothing serious nor to worry; this is a common thing with lipomas!thanks for writing to us and giving me this opportunity to discuss the benign fatty tumor of skin and subcutaneous tissue called lipoma. In fact, there is one specific type of lipoma notorious for severe pain called angiomyolipoma! your type could fall in this type. Regarding other issues, I must tell that only a needle biopsy can confirm lipoma; there are many more possibilities when a scan tells you lipoma: like solidified inclusion cyst, dermatofibroma and neurofibroma. Therefore, you might have confirmed it by any nearby lab and then discuss the possible management. Regards,
