Subcutaneous lipoma anterior chest wall

2023-03-15 16:33:15
I recently noticed a bulging near my ribs and took a ultrasound and CT scan, where it's confirmed it is a subcutaneous lipoma in right lower anterior chestwall overlying 7-8th ribs. I have no pain, but I have been advised to go through a surgery to remove it. Do I really need to go through surgery for this? Would it cause any problem if I leave it like that? Requesting your expertise suggestions🙏

Get general surgeon opinion by nearest hospital. As examination is necessary

Lipoma does not need immediate removal. If it's big then better to get it removed.
