LIPOMAS
The incidence of lipoma is 210 per 100,000 individuals (Pandya). Lipoma is prevalent in 1% of the general population (Nickloes), arising in multiples 5% of the time (Pandya).
Benign soft tissue tumors such as lipomas occur 10 times more frequently than cancerous (malignant) tumors (Shidham).
A lipoma is a noncancerous (benign) tumor composed of fat cells (adipose tissue). Lipomas are usually small. They may remain the same size or grow larger when an individual gains weight. They do not, however, generally decrease in size with weight loss. Lipomas do not usually cause any discomfort unless they are positioned in a way that presses on a nerve. A type of lipoma called angiolipoma has blood vessels scattered through it, which can cause pain.
Lipomas may occur virtually anywhere there are fat cells, including the internal organs (usually in the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine), but appear most often beneath the skin (subcutaneous lipoma) on the trunk, neck, back, upper thighs, armpits, and upper arms. They may occur singly or in groups.
Lipomas generally require no treatment unless they are large, painful, in an inconvenient spot, and/or are unsightly. To reduce their size, lipomas may be injected with steroids. They may also be removed by surgical excision or liposuction.
