      Hello,

      I am stage IIIC since July 2012.  I had a relative small fatty tumor on the underside of my forearm close to elbow.  This happens to be the same side where I had the lymph node dissection late last year.  They have told me the fatty tumor was nothing and has not shown up on any scans.  Over the last 4 days though, I started having a little pain and it began to swell and is tender to the touch.  Has anyone heard of melanoma attaching or spreading to benign type tumors?  I believe I need to have it checked immediately.
