Lipoma
Lipoma: causes, symptoms and treatment options
What is a lipoma?
A lipoma is a benign tumour of fatty tissue that feels soft and mobile. It grows slowly and is often found on areas such as the back, neck, shoulders and arms.
Causes and risk factors
- Genetic predisposition: Family tendencies often play a role.
- Age: More common in middle-aged people.
- Injuries: Lipomas sometimes occur after injuries.
Symptoms
- Soft and mobile: Lipomas feel elastic.
- Slow growth: Develop over several years.
- Cosmetic impairment: Can be visually disturbing if they are visible.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is based on a clinical examination. In unclear cases, an ultrasound examination or a biopsy can be performed.
Treatment options
- Surgical removal: Complete removal under local anaesthetic.
- Liposuction: Liposuction as a minimally invasive method.
- Laser treatment: Precise and low-scar removal.
Risks and aftercare
Removal is generally uncomplicated, but wounds should be cared for to avoid infection. In rare cases, lipomas can reappear.
Prevention and care
- Regular monitoring of changes in the skin.
- A healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and exercise.
Worth knowing
Lipomas are the most common form of fatty tissue tumour and occur in around 1 in 100 people. They are usually smaller than 5 cm, but can become significantly larger in rare cases.
