What are the causes of lumps under my left breast?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a few lumps (my doctor suggested as lipoma) underneath my left breast. They vary in size. I have had them for at least a number of years. I recently had a CT scan of the abdomen for abdominal or pelvic area pain, and I incidentally found some lesions on my pelvic area bones. I have mild pain on the right side of the pelvis area. I have attached the computed tomography (CT) images for your reference. I also had a bone scan today, and I have attached the report for your reference here.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Bone scan reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) say that the lesions look benign. I reviewed the CT (computed tomography) scan, and I agree both the left iliac and right femoral lesions look benign. Since the nuclear study is negative, I would suggest follow-up imaging in a year. If it is totally stable, leave it alone. One more thing, the femoral lesion may represent osteoid osteoma, which may explain right-sided pain.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your review. Just to follow up on this. I have had a radiologist suggest that the femoral lesion may be liposclerosing myxofibrous tumors (LSMFT) or osteoid osteoma. Based on the bone scan report, as well as the CT, which one do you favor, LSMFT or osteoid osteoma? How would you interpret some uptake activity on my forearm, as indicated by the bone scan report?
