Hello,
It is necessary determine the nature of this bulge, which could be fatty tissue or anything else. For this reason, I would like to review your tests if you could upload them for a second opinion. Performing a soft tissues ultrasound and an X-ray study may be needed, if you have not performed these tests yet.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
