A lipoma is a benign and common type of soft tissue tumor characterized by the growth of fat cells beneath the skin. These slow-growing, painless lumps typically feel soft and movable when touched. Lipomas can occur anywhere on the body where fat cells are present and often manifest as small, round nodules.
While lipomas are generally harmless and do not pose a cancer risk, they can be a source of cosmetic concern or discomfort if they press against nerves or adjacent structures. In such cases, surgical removal may be considered, primarily for aesthetic reasons or if the lipoma causes symptoms.
Most lipomas do not require treatment unless they become bothersome or painful. However, if a lump is growing rapidly, has irregular features, or is associated with pain, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation, as these characteristics could indicate a more serious condition that requires further investigation.
