I also has a scan that showed a sac in my right upper arm. Mid arm on the outer side. It inhibits the movement in my arm. I have arthritis (Psoriatic arthritis ) also. Now a lipoma had come up on my right fore arm. The 2 lipoma do not hurt. But the sac that showed up on my scan is painful. advise or concern ? Doctor: Hi,  You can consult an orthopedician and get it removed.  Lipoma is a harmless condition and does not cause much harm.  Hope I have answered your query.
