What Does A Small Painless Lump On Buttocks Indicate?
Hi Doc.. >I have a pingpong ball size painless lump on my left buttock. It's not really hard when i press it.
It's been there for about 6 years and doesn't change on the size also without any issue just a bit discomfort.
Could it be cancer or tumor?
Please advise
Thank you

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Cancers do not continue so log- 6 years you say.
This must be a lipoma and I would advise:::
It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.
1> your get rid of the disease and
2> you get the histopathological diagnosis- makes you tension-free that it is not a cancer.
