Could Angliolipoma Effect The Rest Of The Body Other Than Ribs And Chest Area?

I need help with some questions. I went to the ER with severe pain under my ribs on the left side and swelling. Doctor said it was an angiolipoma. How are these removed? What can I do about the pain? OTC pain medications do not work and it is agonizing. Can this lonely angiolipoma affect other parts of my body with other symptoms?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I don't think you are having Angiolipoma. Angiolipoma is benign tumour consists of blood vessels and fat tissue.
This can not cause such kind of severe agonizing pain. Angiolipomas are almost always painless.
So in my opinion, you should consult another doctor and get done clinical examination and Biopsy of this swelling to confirmed the diagnosis.
You will need surgical removal removal of that swelling. And yes, they can recur in same site or in other parts of body.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
But better to first diagnose yourself.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
