Lipoma

A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump that`s most often situated between your skin and the underlying muscle layer. A lipoma, which feels doughy and usually isn`t tender, moves readily with slight finger pressure. Lipomas are usually detected in middle age. Some people have more than one lipoma. A lipoma isn`t cancer and usually is harmless. Treatment generally isn`t necessary, but if the lipoma bothers you, is painful or is growing, you may want to have it removed.

Lipomas can occur anywhere in the body. Lipomas are

  • Situated just under your skin - They commonly occur in the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms and thighs.
  • Soft and doughy to the touch - They also move easily with slight finger pressure.
  • Generally small - Lipomas are typically less than 2 inches (5 centimeters) in diameter, but they can grow.
  • Sometimes painful - Lipomas can be painful if they grow and press on nearby nerves or if they contain many blood vessels.
  • Less frequently, some lipomas can be deeper and larger than typical lipomas.

The cause of lipomas is unknown. Lipomas tend to run in families, so genetic factors likely play a role in their development.

Several factors may increase your risk of developing a lipoma, including:

  • Being between 40 and 60 years old - Although lipomas can occur at any age, they`re most common in this age group.
  • Lipomas are rare in children
  • Having certain other disorders - People with other disorders, including adiposis dolorosa, Cowden syndrome and Gardner`s syndrome, have an increased risk of multiple lipomas.
  • Genetics. Lipomas tend to run in families.
