I may not be understanding your description correctly, but it doesn't sound to be the same.
This particular condition is much more common where muscles are contained in tight compartments...Upper arms and les have LOTs of room for expansion. You may just have some ipomas (fatty tumors) which are VERY common and easily removed under local anesthesia. As your muscles engorge with blood, these lipomas are pushed closer to he surface.
Just a guess at this point, but people who have 1 lipoma, generally have more and are in a varied distribution (as you described).
