The only good thing at that time was that ALL of my lipomas for whatever reason shrunk away to almost nothing including one that was the size of a walnut. When I switched to Amprenavir my face and arms and legs filled back out about 75 or so of what they were, but so did the lipomas. Crixivan, as well as the other protease inhibitors, can cause lipodystrophy. Although your note is the first time I heard of this drug causing lipomas to shrink, I guess it's plausible that such a thing should happen given the fat component of lipomas. So although one would assume that amprenavir and crixivan would affect you similarly, this does not always happen.
Lipomas are always benign.
No reason to assume that you'll get cancer from those lipomas. Hope this helps. Experts appearing on this page are independent and are solely responsible for editing and fact-checking their material.
