[|Human|] I suffer from lipoedema and have developed many nodules in the affected area below the waistline. However today my therapist noticed a moveable small lump on my ribs (slightly larger than the nodules). The lump has since moved from the side of my ribs to just under the breast. I am going to my doctor tomorrow to ask about it, but I am getting myself really anxious right now. I have lipoedema in my upper arms also, and wondered if nodules could develop above the waistline? The lump is nippy painful.
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for the query.First please do not be worried. From your description, this lump is a lipoma. It's a benign soft tissues lesion, which does not turn into a cancer. It can be associated with lipoma, as this lump is also build of the fatty tissues. Its very characteristic for lipoma to be painless, movable and rounded. It's usually soft when you palpate it. To confirm this diagnosis, soft tissues' ultrasound can be done. If it bothers you, can be removed by a general surgeon. Hope this will help. Regards.
