His mom died from small cell lung cancer and i was just wondering whats the chamce it could be cancer? He sees a surgeon wednesday. Thank you
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. It can be simple lipoma, other soft tissue tumor like neurofibroma, or it can be cancer.  Definite diagnosis can be given only after biopsy.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy first.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
