Frequently asked questions

How fast is ‘too fast’ growth?

Any noticeable growth over weeks to months deserves evaluation, especially if the lump is firm, fixed, or deep.

Will you always order imaging?

Not always. We use imaging when it helps define anatomy or changes the safest management.

Do growing lumps always need removal?
