Good to know I am not alone! Good topic!
I have had a thyroid tumor (malignant), with mets to lymph nodes. Also had lots of thyroid nodules. All of those bumps and lumps are gone now thanks to surgery. Also have various mysterious lumps on arms and legs. Have not really delved into what they are. Just don't have time for any more appointments or doctors! THey don't seem to have any growth or pain so I am choosing to ignore them for now.  Oh I also had  uterine polyps.
THat's my lump and bump report,

Interesting question, Patty...I've had lumps (cancerous) in the breast, fibroids in the uterus, polyps in the colon, and other not so interesting little cysts around in insignificant places.  I've heard many times that most people have cysts/tumors all over their body without them ever being aware of them, and most are of no real medical concern.  Let's hope so, right!

I am one of the NF2s and no other tumors ,cysts so far.      I am getting older so that can always change.

I had fibroids and a benign tumor attached to a ligament supporting the uterus removed many years ago, along with the hysterectomy and I have at least one fatty lipoma ..... in addition to the AN.  I just kind of figured these things went with the territory when you live long enough ....  :-\  Glad you asked the question, however, because now I am beginning to wonder if there is a connection.
