Suggest Treatment For Limpoma
I've been diagnosed with a mass in the posterior left side of my neck. MRI revealed a possible lipoma. I went to a general surgeon, who informed me that the mass appears to be in the muscle. This "lipoma" causes my neck to ache. With that in mind, I was wondering if a nerve may be entrapped and what surgical options might I have. Thank you.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumour s usually containing fat tissue only. So they are soft, non tender and non itchy. And usually does not produce any symptoms.so no treatment is required.
But when they produce symptoms or increasing in size than surgical removal is the only treatment.
So consult general surgeon and get done surgical removal of lipoma.
