Hello 

In 2019, around 2 years after having my 2nd child I was getting out of the bath, and as I put my leg up to step over the edge i felt a large lump. This panicked me, although I initially thought it was muscle that I had bulked up from going to the gym, but my husband agreed it felt "odd". I was sent for a Ultrasound, followed by MRI which showed a benign lipoma deep in my thigh muscle. Later on that year it was removed with margins, (it was 8cm) and histology came back confirming it was just a benign lipoma, all was great and I started healing from surgery and didn't look back.

2022, I noticed a new lump in the same place, only small but it felt clear to me that it was there. MRI was done which showed a 3cm reoccurrence, everyone just said this was a benign lipoma like the last one and nothing was done in a great rush, in fact it took around 8 months after the MRI to get it removed...

The histology came back Friday after they held a MDT meeting, I have not seen my sarcoma team yet - I am booked in to go and see them tomorrow for them to tell me the news (they don't know my GP has already sent me the report). The report says "Features are of a Atypical Lipomatous Tumor, Predominantly Lipoma-like with focal sclerosing morphology, MDM2 positive, Locally aggressive" 

I was just wondering, is this a cancer? or it benign?

Thank you
