What if you have a lumpectomy surgery and it's worse then what the doctors thought?
Your question isn't clear. If the mass is larger than thought previously, then the amount of tissue removed will be a bit larger. If the pathology report comes back showing more severe disease than previously thought, then the treatment plan might change.

How do you know if it is fatty tissue or a lump on the back of your neck'?
This sounds like a benign fatty tumor [do you have any on your back or legs?]. Lymph nodes are firm and NOT fatty-feeling; they also can increase and shrink in size. Fatty tumors do not. If it bothers you a general surgeon can easily removed it for you.

Can a benign tumor be harmful?
A benign tumor can be harmful, even if it does not enter the blood stream of the lymph fluid. It can grow to the size where it puts pressure on other parts of the body, causing harm to those parts. Tumors require a large amount of blood, so it can grow large enough so that it requires blood at the expense of other parts of the body, also causing potential harm

What is a big lump on my back?
A soft, painless, somewhat movable lump under the skin is most likely a "lipoma" A lipoma is basically a mass of fatty tissue. In medical terms it is considered a "soft tissue tumor" but it is not cancerous. It is harmless aside from the cosmetic issue; it can be removed by a simple procedure, but there is a risk of scarring. So the decision would be what is better, a lump or a scar? http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/tc/lipoma-topic-overview http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoma
