Suggest Treatment For Spreading Lipoma On Chest

My boyfriend, 47, has what they said is a lipoma on his chest near the bottom of the ribcage, had an ultrasound, they didn t seem concerned, it is growing rapidly, interfering with his breathing and he is constantly hungry. Could this be something else?

it is to be confirmed by doing aspiration biopsy. if confirmed then it can be operated. if confirmed then consult surgeon. need not be concerned since it is a benign condition.
