Subcutaneous nodule
A lipoma is a benign, soft lump of fatty tumor that develops just under the skin. It’s a “pillow of fat” that is generally painless and slow growing. It’s not cancerous, so don’t panic! These smooth, moveable lumps can form anywhere, even on your arms and back. Although they are generally more of an aesthetic problem than a medical one, they can be easily excised if they become irritating.
Lipoma pathology shows different kinds of lipomas, which having unique features. Here are the common ones:
They are squishy and soft to the touch.
Most do not hurt, but some may squeeze nerves or blood vessels and lead to mild pain.
They grow very slowly over long periods of time.
You can shift them around a bit beneath your skin.
They are often small, about 2 inches or less.
If you develop a lipoma that suddenly starts growing rapidly, you should go see a doctor, as it might be something other than a harmless lump. It’s also a good idea to have it checked if it becomes painful lipomas, particularly if it puts pressure on your nerves or blood vessels.
If that lump feels hard, strange or grows in size, you should get it checked out as well. Redness, swelling or signs of infection are other reasons to see a doctor. Also, if it develops into large lipomas larger than 2 inches. Finally, there is a very small chance that what looks like a lipoma is actually a type of cancer called liposarcoma, so, getting a medical opinion is always a good idea, to be sure it isn’t anything serious.
Dercum’s disease: Tender lipomas of the arms, legs, and trunk that are painful.
Gardner syndrome: Genetic condition leading to multiple lipomas throughout the body.
Madelung’s disease: Multiple painful lipomas of the neck, shoulders, and arms, sometimes associated with heavy alcohol consumption.
Hereditary multiple lipomatosis: Harmless lipomas on the trunk, arms and legs, and are inherited.
Obesity: Most lipomas develop from extra fat accumulating in those at risk for being overweight.
High cholesterol: High cholesterol can interfere with your body’s ability to metabolize fat and cause lipomas.
Diabetes: Diabetes patients have higher fat in their body, which may produce lipomas.
Giant lipomas can be painful if they compress a nerve.
Lipomas that develop near nerves can cause numbness, tingling or weakness.
A lipoma in a confined space can constrain movement comfortably.
Lipomas can become infected if injured.
A diet high in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats may help prevent lipomas. Maintaining a healthy weight may also decrease the risk of fat accumulation beneath the skin that may cause lipomas.
Reducing intake of foods high in unhealthy fats and sugar is the right approach. Consuming whole foods allows you to maintain a healthy body and may prevent excess fat from accumulating, possibly lowering the risk of lipomas.
Regular exercise will keep your weight under control and also prevents fat accumulation. So, it can decrease the risk of lipomas. Physical activity also helps your body move smoothly and promotes good circulation.
Aim to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days. When you’re more active, your body is healthy and fat doesn’t accumulate, which may even help prevent lipomas.
Yes, it’s important to keep your cholesterol in check. Aside from fat, high cholesterol can also lead to fat buildup in the body, which is the condition that might cause lipomas. The majority of people with a lipoma only have one, but more than one lipoma can grow. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help control cholesterol.
Exercise, eat healthily and don’t smoke – all of these can help keep your cholesterol in check. Regular checkups with your doctor can help ensure that you keep your cholesterol at a healthy level.
Yes, it is possible if you have a family history of lipomas to be more likely to develop them. You can’t change your genes, but staying healthy and looking out for lipoma signs can greatly help.
In the case of family history of lipomas, you should go for regular checkup with your doctor to seek management of the condition. Although it can’t be avoided, early intervention and monitoring of lipomas can help you manage one if you get it and also minimize potential issues.
