Hi,

Unexplained lumps are a sign of cancer and I have a patient with that. There are some lumps such as lipomas that are benign and often many places. Neurofibromatosis is technically benign and nearly always multiple but often quite debilitating.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
