Thanks for your question on HCM.
Lipoma is benign soft tissue tumour containing mostly fat tissue.
It is subcutaneous in nsture and non tender,non itchy.
Usually no treatment is required.
In rare cases it turns into malignancy called liposarcoma. But it is very rare.
So your doctor has adviced tests to rule out malignant potential of lipoma. So no harm in doing all test.
Get done all test .
It will come benign only.
So no need to worry much.
