What Causes Semi Soft Lump On Hip?
Hello,
I am a 21 yr old male. I have a semi soft lump about an inch or so in size. It is located on my lower back right above the point of my hip. My father has had a lipoma remvoed that was on his waist line. My lower back has also been subject to trauma from being a college wrestler. Any idea about what it is?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. A semi soft lump, which moves easily is possibly a lipoma.
2. Get an Fine needle aspiration cytology of the lump done for confirmation.
3. If its lipoma, its a slow growing lesion and you can get it operated anytime. It will rule out other causes and give you peace of mind.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
