Can a compressible lump that increases in size and is present in the buttocks for years be due to cancer?

Hi doctor,

There was a lump about 1.18 to 1.57 inches in diameter on my right buttock for about 18 years. Perhaps it is not regularly shaped, not fully round, or not fully oval. It might have increased a little within the last five years, and now it might be 1.77 to 1.96 inches in diameter. It hurts a little only when pressed. Otherwise, it does not create any problems. I checked it with a dermatologist ten years ago, and he said it is a sebaceous cyst. But he said it just by looking at the lump, but he did not examine it physically. The lump is firm upon palpation. When I sit for some time, its size is compressed and then regains its original size. Now I fear if it is anything serious like cancer. I am attaching the report of an ultrasound which I did two years ago.

Please suggest.

What are the complications associated with the removal of a parotid gland tumor?

Hello doctor,

My father is planning to undergo surgery for parotid gland swelling that occurred. We have undergone an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan for this purpose. I am attaching the reports of the MRI scan. Could you please provide us with a brief explanation regarding the following details? Does the MRI scan show normal results, or are there any abnormalities identified? There is a mention of 'cervical branch in relation to the mass lesion is not visualized: suggestive of encasement.' Could you please explain the meaning and implications of this statement?

Thank you.
