Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Hi, I have these fatty bumps on various parts of my body also.....some have been there a long time, some have come and gone a few times. I had one in particular on the inside of my wrist (and up just a bit) right on the veins that comes and goes every few years. It was a pea size semi-hard bump that could be moved around, I had it for 3 years this time and now its gone. I have some on my legs also, behind the knees and on the shins.There is one on my shin that if I'm not carefull,I accidently shave the top of it off simply because it protrudes from my skin..it never bleeds but has caused quite a bit of scarring.I guess I have them just about everywhere , both legs, arms, back, stomach, chest,neck...everywhere. My dr. called these fatty cysts......I am prone to various cysts/tumors/growths inside AND outside of my body from my brain down to my legs.Ganglion cysts, fatty cysts,congenital cysts on the spine, congenital brain tumors/cysts, fibroid tumors on ovaries and uterus, endometriosis (which I know are not cysts or tumors but are growths of some kind) etc...... not sure if they are all connected in some way or if I'm just one of those " lucky " people that have several various things going on at once??? Who knows?? But I DO know I have heard alot of people on this list with several of the things I mentioned above even the men with different cysts etc. So not sure if these are common in the general population at large or if we are just more prone to it..it is kind of weird that there are quite a few of us with several similar things all at once though..........((((hugs)))) Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
