Hi. Thanks for your query. If the lump is moving when you massage it, it is most likely to be lipoma. The best way to diagnose is ti have an ultrasonography examination and FNAC =fine needle aspiration cytology, if required. Somehow I am of the opinion- if there is a lump - which is not a normal part of the , why would one like to keep it- keep the tensions of thinking it to be a cancer, keep it in the body to grow and cause complications. The best way is to consult a Surgeon-request him get this out, send for examination, confirm the diagnosis. I hope you are getting a correct message. Operation is the best policy.
