Suggest Treatment For A Soft Lump Above Waistline
Question: I have a large bulge on my back right side just above my waist. It is soft and not painful. What could it be. It is about the size of a soft ball.
Brief Answer:
Lipoma or ateroma
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
It sounds to me like lipoma or ateoima which are benign subcutaneous lesions and it can be removed surgically under local anesthesia. I don't think this is something more serious but it is always sent to analysis after it is removed. So you should consult your doctor for further steps. Wish you good health. Regards
