Medical Conditions - Lipoma

A lipoma is a harmless fatty tissue lump often situated between the skin. A lipoma is slow-growing and is not cancerous. Lipomas can develop anywhere on the body, most common on the back, trunk, arms, shoulders, and neck. If the lipomas are painful, they are removed surgically. Liposuction is an alternative to lipoma surgery in which a health care provider uses a needle and a large syringe to remove the fatty lump.
