Is Surgery The Only Option For Recurring Wrist Lipoma?

September 8, 2011
Asked By:npixie in Edmonton, AB

I understand lipoma's can recur if some tissue was missed upon removal. That seems to be my issue after having a lipoma in my wrist removed 16 months ago. Unfortunately it causes me pain if I use my hand for long periods of time and seems to get larger as well (Swelling of the wrist causing it to become more raised?) Is there any other option other than sugery to fix this?
