If one finds a lump on the surface of his or her body, but beneath the skin (not a dermal lump, but subcutaneous), and it doesn't grow for a month, and it wasn't there two months ago, is that a good indicator that it's not a cancerous/malignant tumor?
For example, let's say you found a round, 2.5cm lump on the surface of your chest, but not part of the skin, and it hasn't grown for a month and it wasn't there before a month or two ago, can one be reasonably confident that it's not a malignant tumor? All of my research so far suggests that's the case.
