Question: Hello i had a lipoma removed 4 weeks ago which was on upper thigh and was 4cm. I have other bumps as well on my other thigh one upper one mid and both small at 1cm. Not really visible yet unlike my big 4cm one. I thought i would be fine with having them on my body but i guess in not, or at least im scared of the word "liposarcoma" which is freaking me out. Do sarcomas grow this small once able to be felt? At least i have read they like the thigh but does that mean small and under skin or usually deep and big by the time you can feel them? I went back to my general practioner and she felt all my bumps five in all... back, thigh, side of arm. She with out a doubt said all fatty lipomas. I guess i need a little more satisfaction on this. My lipomas feel like firm rubber and move i think. Like i said GP said lipoma.

When you mean fixed does that mean like to muscle? The two on my thigh move with the fat if I pinch some fat around it. They dont move alot though. I dont have much fat there but enough to pinch around. Seems on top of muscle. They are rubber feeling and more firm like my lipoma they removed. I guess i have always been confused with what does fixed or XXXXXXX really mean? Does it mean if i pinch the fat around it it seems to move as a whole?

If i grab the ends with my finger and thumb they tend to move a very little. But they arent quite superficial yet because only about 1cm. They dont feel like a rock and dont feel like sponge either. Firm eraser for sure. I know im freaking out but do liposarcomas grow in this way? Small, under skin and firm? Also since i had one lipoma removed does multiple bumps mean they are probably all lipomas or can you have cancerous and benign lumps at one time?

How come when i read stuff about liposarcomas and lipomas it states that some can be mistaken for one another? Like both can be soft and slow growing? How many sarcomas in the thigh are just under skin that you have seen? Are most deep in the tissue? Im sure mine is a lipoma like you say but im scared because its mid thigh. My other lipomas are on back, upper leg and arms. Lipomas can grow anywhere though, right?
