Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. The best way is to go to a general surgeon to get yourself examined clinically and take his advise on the investigation needed to confirm your diagnosis. Usually lipoma is easily diagnosed clinically, and at best by a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). Whether it has got any internal connection or not could be decided by the clinical examination and ultrasound as well. However, in case you are too much apprehensive about this issue, you can consult with the surgeon at the time of clinical assessment on the need for MRI for a lipoma. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
