could be neurofibroma

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic. .

It could be neurofibroma or lipoma. To diagnose it you need to get it examined by a surgeon.

Since it is causing pain and increasing in size it should be removed. Usually by clinical examination it will be diagnosed. If doubtful you may need to get needle biopsy done.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
