serious advice needed regarding lipoma or fatty cysts?

[Detector]

Ive just had what was supposed to be Lipoma removed from my chest by minor surgery at the doctors today. When the doctor finally got the bloody thing out (was like giving birth it was that big!). he told me that part of the tumour or fatty cyst or lipoma as some people call them did not look quite right and he packed it into a jar and has sent it off for testing.
they send them off for testing anyway as ive allready had 3 others removed but it was his reaction to this that made me a bit worried. also part of this one looked greay and the others he had taken out a few weeks ago were red/orangy.

anyone else had the same thing and if so what did it look like and turn out to be???

det.

By chest do you mean nipple? If it is, could be some sort of gyno, but I don't know about the colours or anything.

That's a bit naughty of the doc to put the fear into you! He should have been more professional, and then honest with you there and then if he had any serious doubts.

I hope it works out in your favor!

my bloody stomach is killing me now, ive been left with a bruise the size of a large hand and the pain is bloody killing me.

im confident that it may be just a normal fatty cyst or lipoma as ive had the lump for years, maybe 8 years and it has not grown. fingers crossed anyway.

anyone else had them?

I have several lumps around my stomach in various places. My family doc found them by accident in a routine checkup when I was 14 or so. He said as long as they weren't painful or get bigger then not to worry... They are only visible when I have very low body fat levels, under 9%, but I'm currently around 14%.

I have ganglion cysts in two fingers, bizarrely enough they are both on each middle finger in near on the same place. I had one removed a few years with cryosurgery... which fucking hurt ...lol... and it has since grown back, which they are prone to do. I just slice the top off it every few months, which is probably not the best advice, but it works for me. I just can't be arsed to go back to the docs to get it frozen off again, plus put up with the amount of pain involved for weeks after!
