You usually find these soft, fatty masses in areas which are prone to cellulite. That is why you may find them underneath your elbows, at the back of your thighs, neck, arms, and back. You will find this book to be one of the best volumes providing detailed information on Lipoma.

Lipoma Explained

Lipoma is a common skin disorder affecting millions of people around the world today. It is a non-cancerous or benign skin tumor that can appear and grow in different parts of the body. Lipoma can be determined through the lumps that grow just under the skin. These lumps contain fatty cells and usually move when pressed by the fingers. Most fatty lumps are not painful even when pinched, making lipomas unnoticed for years before it can be diagnosed.

Lipomas are benign, non-cancerous, harmless and most of the time painless growth of fatty tissue just right behind or under the skin. The growth of lipoma is slow, and you would not even know that you have a lipoma for several years unless you can clearly see the bulge in your skin. This medical condition can happen to anyone at any age, but most cases of lipomas are commonly found from individuals aging from 40 to 60 years old. Moreover, lipoma is more common to men than women. There are different names or types of lipomas depending on the area of growth and the composition of the tumor. We will discuss the type later.

Despite many painstaking researches and studies about this skin condition, there are no consensus on its causes yet, making it difficult to determine the actual ways to prevent it. Lipomas can also occur in dogs, but just like in human lipomas, no known causes are also proven and accepted by the medical experts.

How Common is Lipoma?

Lipoma affects millions around the world.

Women, especially in the age group of 30 to 40 are more prone to common single Lipoma. Nevertheless, there are no hard and fast rules about Lipoma being prevalent in one age group, gender or race.

If you are genetically predisposed to Lipoma or you have members in your family suffering from cancer, you may also find this growth, sometime during your life. Men in the age group of 40 – 60 may be more prone to Lipomatosis, which is a condition related to multiple Lipoma lumpy growths on the neck, shoulders, back and legs.

Current Statistical Data

According to a survey conducted online where online visitors who experienced or suffer from the condition can join, only few patients or about 30% of the total participants have undergone surgery to remove their lipomas. However, from the online participants, 23% of the patients who participated reported that their lipomas grew back after the surgery.

Based on the patients’ reports, most of the lipomas were found in the upper leg or thighs to the knee, in the lower arm, and in the upper arm. Some lipomas were also found in the back, in the abdomen, in the chest area, and in the lower leg. Some few lumps were reported to have been found in the shoulder, underarm, in the neck, hands, and few on the face.

Most of the patients who have lipomas preferred dermatologists to help with their problem. Some also go to a general physician while some go to a plastic surgeon especially for patients who preferred to undergo excision surgery for the removal of their lipomas.

Although surgeries and treatments are available, most physicians or dermatologists do not immediately recommend these options unless the lipomas affect the person’s appearance like those lumps growing on the face or for lipomas that are causing pain due to their sensitive position. Some lipomas may unluckily grow in a dangerous or complicated area of the body like near the spine, near a vital organ,
