What Causes Calves And Thigh Growths Of Varying Sizes?
Hi, for years now I have had a small on each of my calves. I had one biopsy and the dermatologist said it was a fatty cell tumor? I have also found several more on my thighs, some very small and one quite large. Is this normal for a young physically active woman?

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Fatty cell tumours are known as lipomas, and lipomas can occur at a single place or multiple sites in the body.
However,multiple lipomas are rare and you should be properly investigated to rule out any cancerous lesions or increased lipid content in the body by blood investigations.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
