Yes lipoma has to be removed, as it is a symptomatic lesion with more than 5 cm length in your case. Hospital stay depend from Hospital to Hospital, whether it's been excised under local or general anesthesia as a day care procedure, otherwise recovery must be pretty good.

If causing problem the lump needs to be excised...
Generally excision of the lump of the aforementioned size and depth of location the recovery time is 3-4 days...and most probably will be a day care procedure under local anaesthesia...
Infliximab can be continued pre and post operatively provided broad spectrum antibiotics are given post operatively
Next Steps
Multidisciplinary approach required
Consult with General Surgeon and General Physician/Rheumatologist who advised Infliximab
