What is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a soft, benign growth of fatty tissue that develops just beneath the skin. Most are harmless and slow-growing, but many patients choose removal for comfort, cosmetic reasons, or to rule out other causes when a lump appears.
Symptoms for Lipoma

Easily shifts under the skin with finger pressure
Painless Growth
Usually not tender unless pressing on a nerve
Slow Growth
Develops gradually over months or years
Doughy Texture
Distinctly soft compared to harder growths
Round or Oval Shape
Well-defined edges
Size Variation
Ranges from pea-sized to several centimeters
Common Causes of Lipoma
Genetic Predisposition
Family history increases likelihood
Obesity
Higher body fat can be associated with lipoma development
Minor Trauma
Some lipomas develop after injury to an area
Hormonal Changes
Can influence fat tissue growth
Certain Genetic Conditions
Such as familial multiple lipomatosis
Age
More common between 40–60 years

Diagnosis
Diagnosis typically starts with a physical examination, with imaging used for larger or deeper lipomas and biopsy reserved for cases where malignancy needs to be ruled out.
Diagnostic Methods

- Ultrasound for depth and composition assessment
- MRI for large or deep-seated lipomas
- Biopsy if malignancy is suspected
