Lipomas can form in any body part, although the back, torso (trunk), arms, shoulders and neck are the most common parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lipomas are slow-growing, soft tissue tumours that are typically benign (non-cancerous). In some cases, they may be mistaken for liposarcomas, which are rare malignant tumours; however, liposarcomas usually present differently and require specialist evaluation<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35952693\/\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most lipomas don\u2019t require treatment unless symptomatic.

When removal is necessary, lipomas are typically taken out through minimally invasive surgical procedures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1749464304573\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Where do lipomas usually grow?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Lipomas can form in any part of the body. Although multiple lipomas can grow, most people only have one. These mostly form just beneath the skin on the following areas:<br>-Arms or legs<br>-Back<br>-Neck<br>-Shoulders<br>-Trunk (chest and torso)<br>-Forehead\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1749464335434\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the procedure for treating lipomas?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If a lipoma causes discomfort or concern, the doctor can surgically remove it. Lipoma removal is a simple and quick procedure and in most cases, patients are able to return home the same day. As an alternative, liposuction may be considered. In this procedure, a physician uses a thin, hollow instrument to extract fatty tissue from the lump. The choice of treatment depends on the size, location, and nature of the lipoma, and should be discussed with a qualified medical practitioner.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1749464350389\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Are lipomas prevalent?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Lipomas are common and affect about one in every 1,000 people. Lipomas more frequently occur in people between the ages of 40 and 60 but can occur at any age, including at birth. Lipomas are found in both men and women, though some studies<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35952693\/\">2<\/a><\/sup> suggest that they are more prevalent in women.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span><strong>References<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Bhatted S, Verma P, Latika.
