Asked By:tados in Toronto, ON

It is a bit deep seated. I just got diagnosed with a lipoma on my lower back. It is a bit deep seated, it’s not really visble, you need to dig a bit to feel it. My big concern is that is liposcarma. I know that a true diagnosis can not be made until biopsy is done. But how many lipomas are actually cancer?
