Growth Lump

[benzoj]

I recently noticed I have a small hard lump on my oblique but no black and blue marks or anything. Only thing Im running is 5 iu of Growth. I usually pin myself in the quads with my shots so not sure I could have done an oblique shot and not realized it but still its very strange and starting to freak me out. Anyone on here have experience? Im going to give it a few days to see if it goes away before I go to the doc. Any experience would help. Thanks

Yes

Probably a lipoma........look around, you probably have many more if you feel for them.

I recently noticed a hard little lump in my left quad teardrop. Kinda freaked me out. Just watching it at this point.

Thanks Phil. Ej here is what I found on it, sounds like this is what it is for me at least.

Lipomas are rarely life-threatening and the common subcutaneous lipomas are not a serious condition. Lipomas growing in internal organs can be more dangerous, for example lipomas in the gastrointestinal tract can cause bleeding, ulceration and painful obstructions (so-called "malignant by location", despite being a benign growth histologically).[23][24] Malignant transformation of lipomas into liposarcomas is very rare and most liposarcomas are not produced from pre-existing benign lesions,[20] although a few cases of malignant transformation have been described for bone and kidney lipomas.[25][26] It is possible these few reported cases were well-differentiated liposarcomas in which the subtle malignant characteristics were missed when the tumour was first examined.[27] Deep lipomas have a greater tendency to recur than superficial lipomas, because complete surgical removal of deep lipomas is not always possible.[27][28]
