Asked By:rs909 in Orange, CA

I notice a lump on head approx.8-10yrs ago.Ct scans of head indicate fatty tissue Lipoma not to worry. Became bigger by time no Pain. Had 3-4X different reasons more HEAD CT Scans different yrs later all said Lipoma. 3 Head MRi's as well. On 11/18/16 rupture by itself I went to ER Chino CA hosp they squeezed it all out, thinking it's over 8months later it grew BACK to this Now. I couldn't add another photo so I have to ask another question.At least I know it can be removed on Local.Thanks Dr.s
