Can Fatty lump that is painful in your leg be surgically removed?

The lumps can be removed surgically and the physician can determine if there are other problems around the area of the lump causing the leg to be painful-while he or she has the surgical cut open. Fatty lumps normally do not hurt but they can hurt if they have been bumped or bruised. Some people opt to keep them rather than have a surgical scar. It is important for the person, with the problem, to discuss this with his or her physician.
