Suggest Treatment For Growth On Upper Bicep Area
My 15yr old has a growth on her upper bicep area. It was first diagnosed a cyst but in 4mo. Has grown from a beebee to thumb size. Now her doctors say no that isn t a cyst and let s just get it out of there. It hurts/stings when you apply pressure. With pending surgery. What should we expect and what could it be.

HI...it could be a lipoma or as there is pain and burning sensation it could be a neurolipoma too. The best way to diagnose what it is would be to take ti out and get a histopathological examination done and it would give use the diagnosis conclusively.
