I have a lump nestled in between my clavicle and neck. Diagnosed as a lipoma but it is putting pressure on spine and it is hard to sleep at night. In certain position my body temp goes sky high. Is thsi npormal for a lipoma?Docs anti removing because they fear it is too close to a network of nerves etc.
Hello! Thank you for the query. High temperature is not a characteristic symptom of lipoma. Fever is characteristic for infection or cancer. Lipoma usually does not cause any pain, however can cause discomfort in certain locations. It is usually well separated from surrounding tissues, so it can be safely removed without nerves damages. If its near nerves, can be something else. If there are any doubts, MRI of this area should be done. Lipoma can be removed. Hope this will help. Regards.
