Can Lipomas Be In Multiple Areas?
My 15 year old son had a small lump has had a small lump on the back of his neck for about 1 1/2 years. He is very active in sports and at his last physical his doctor examined the area and thought it was either a sebaceaous cyst or lipoma. We have recently noticed a second lump close to the first one and also one above his knee anteriorly. Can these cysts or lipomas be in multiple areas like this?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having multiple lipomas or Fibromatosis giving this problem.
As they are multiple no need of removing them unless it grows big in size.
If fibromatosis are there there are all chances to develop in more sites.
If require consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
