Following recent surgery for division of adhesions was told I had a fatty lump called a lymphoma. What's this

It's small and showed up on an ultra-sound. The surgeon is not concerned about it and will not remove it. Says nothing to worry about. Said it's just a fatty lump. It gets painful and hard as the day goes on and I get tired, but it's fine in the morning and when resting. This happened AFTER surgery, was not there before.





The term lymphoma scared me from what I've read.........could I have picked the surgeon up wrong???





Any help would be great, thanks :) ESP from surgeons.





PS division of adhesions was during a reversal of the hiatus hernia procedure. (open surgery)

No wonder you have worried yourself. But as others have said here before me, a fatty lump is a lipoma.





To set your mind at rest call the hospital and ask the surgeon to confirm what he said. You are then going to feel much better either way.
Reply:Are you sure it wasn't a lipoma?

Reply:If it's a fatty lump, it's a lipoma, which although not entirely pleasant is not harmful. Lymphoma is something totally different, which is a cancerous condition of the lymphatic system, and you really don't want that. For what it's worth I hope it's the lipoma.
Reply:Lipoma not lymphoma.
Reply:I think you need to go back to your Doctor and ask him to look at it again. It will more than likely be nothing to worry about, however if it is painful I would get it removed. If you want it removing they should remove it for you.
