Infiltrating Lipoma in Right Lower Back Muscle.

January 3, 2010
Asked By:aj2010 in Columbus, MS

Hello, I've had a lipoma in my right lower back muscle for a few years. Its approximately 2 inches in diameter and sometimes the muscle under the lipoma feels rather tight at times. I think the lipoma has infiltrated the muscle since it gets tight at times. I'm wondering if I should have it removed; and if so can the lipoma that has infiltraded the muscle be removed as well? What are the chances of the lipoma coming back after removal? I'd really appreciate answers! Thanks, Adam
