A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor composed of fat tissue. It is the most common type of soft tissue tumor and generally presents as a soft, doughy lump just beneath the skin. Lipomas can occur anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, and thighs.
Lipomas feel soft to the touch and can often be moved slightly under the skin with gentle pressure.
Most lipomas can be diagnosed based on their appearance and feel. Imaging: In some cases, a doctor may recommend imaging studies such as ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans to confirm the diagnosis, especially if the lipoma is deep-seated or growing rapidly.
The prognosis for individuals with lipomas is excellent. They are benign and generally do not cause serious health problems. After removal, recurrence is rare, though some individuals may develop new lipomas over time, particularly if they have a genetic predisposition.
