A lipoma is a slow-growing, fatty lump of harmless mass that is not cancerous and is most often situated between the skin and the muscle layer. Lipomas can occur anywhere in the body, but they are most commonly found in the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, and thighs. Lipomas can feel doughy and usually aren't tender, and they move easily with slight finger pressure. Lipomas usually do not require treatment, but the doctor may recommend removal of the lipoma only if it is painful or is growing. The symptoms of lipomas include a slow-growing, soft, and painless lump under the skin. Lipomas can occur anywhere in the body, but they are most commonly found in the neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, arms, and thighs. Lipoma surgery or excision is carried out under local or general anesthesia as required for the size of the lump. Under local anesthesia, the fatty tissue is removed through a small incision. The excision process involves making the incision and removing the fatty tissue, and thereafter, the patient is released.
