Hi Practo user ,
The lesion that you have mentioned after undergoing sonography requires surgical intervention in following scenario:
1) if it’s painful
2) Hampering daily routine activity
3) for cosmetic reasons
Swelling appears to be benign and risk of it being converted to liposarcoma is very rare .
For more details kindly get in touch with a plastic or general surgeon.
Hope this helps
