What Causes Lumps All Over The Body?

My husband has "knots" all over his torso, back and upper legs. He has had them for years. The one on his stomach has grown and is the size of a baseball. He has new knots that grow everyday it seems like? What could be wrong with him? He is so scared to go to doctor.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has multiple lumps all over the body.
It can be multiple lipomatosis or neurofibromatosis. He should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of one lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice if you have problem with any lump.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
