Can A Fatty Bump On The Back Be Cancerous?
i have a supposed fatty bump on my back-they did an ultrasound-came back not sure it was cancerous-both dr and tech thought ok. should i do a biopsy and if so what does that mean? It is not attached and can move around-doesn t hurt-didn t know it was there until i looked at my back one day

Accordin to your description it can be a lipoma which is benign lump.it can be kept under observation but has to be followed up regularly for monitoring for any increase in size or rapid increase in size . These symptoms indicate the chance s of tumour turning into malignancy . Bye.
