What Causes Lipoma?
I saw a Surgeon today regarding a lump in my lower back around my SI region. I have felt a softer mass and also a harder ball like mass near each other. I also have NF 1. The surgeon today only felt the softer mass which I believe to be a Lipoma(he did too) should I be concerned about the harder ball type mass?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have NF1. You habe high chance of neurofibroma.
Lipoma is the benign tumour of fatty tissue & neurofibroma is the benign tumour of neural tissue.
Both the lesions are benign. No need to worry. Treatment is excision.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
