Description
- A lipoma is a benign mass or lump of fatty tissue that usually present beneath the underlying muscle and skin.
- While finding any lump or swelling on your body can be fearful, lipomas are most likely harmless. However, lipomas are still needed to be checked by your doctor, just to be on the safer side.
- You are not alone who is having lipoma. They are the most familiar inoffensive benign tumor found in adults, according to the American Academy.
- It is possible to have more than one lipoma in the body, and they are slightly more likely to occur in men than in women.
Signs and symptoms
- A lipoma is likely to feel soft or rubbery to the touch; you may even be able to shift it around a bit with your finger as they are mobile.
- Lipomas are usually not painful, and they don’t produce any symptoms, except one, a person with a lipoma may experience pain if the lipoma is present on nerves and pressurizing it or contains blood vessels.
- Lipomas are not cancerous,Unless a lipoma is growing in size or troubling you in some way, there is no need to take further action once you get it checked out. Your doctor will make sure to check and examine the lipoma.
- Lipomas can form at any site on the body, but you’re most likely to find them on your trunk, shoulders, neck, and arms.
- They tend to spread slowly and generally don’t develop in size more than 2 inches overall, although some lipomas may present greater than that.
Causes and risk factors
- Medical professionals don’t know what the causative factors of lipoma are, but some think it’s a response to physical trauma.
- Some believe that the lipoma already exists and is brought to recognition because of the injury.
Here are some possible risk factors:
Lack of Exercise
Being physically active may protect you from certain diseases. Some medical experts believe that lipomas develop more often in inactive or lethargic people.
Genetics
Lipomas often run in families, so heredity may play a role.
Age
Though lipomas can form in anyone, they are most likely to develop in middle-aged individuals between the age of 40 and 55.
Certain Medical Conditions
A person may develop one or multiple lipomas if they have Gardner syndrome (a certain condition inherited disorder that causes benign and malignant tumors to grow), familial multiple lipomatosis (an autosomal dominant condition), adiposis dolorosa (Dercum’s disease), or Madelung’s disease (seen mostly in heavy drinkers in men).
Prognosis
- The prognosis for lipomas is usually very good. Unless the lipomas trouble or continue to grow in size or change, you would not need any management other than making sure your doctor takes care during your regular physical exam.
- People who represent lipomas are not more likely to develop liposarcoma. Atypical lipomas may transform into a liposarcoma, but it is very rare.
