Sir...the multiple swellings which you are describing can be multiple lipomas/ neurofibromas. They can sometimes increase in size and can become painful. I can see you are apprehensive because your friend has been diagnosed with recurrent sarcomas. The best way to get over this apprehension is to consult a doctor and get an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) [a test in which the material from the lump is aspirated and analyzed under a microscope]. This test will make it clear whether your lesions are benign or malignant. Your abdominal hernias are unrelated to the present condition.
