Lumps in armpit

2021-07-25 12:37:01
What are the ways (other than biopsy or mammography) to confirm if the lemon-sized lumps hanging from your armpit are lipomas/benign)? These are painful at times, soft to touch and slightly firm. Gets the annual ultrasound done and there's no such finding as cancer.
