Overview
History
Symptoms
The usual symptoms of lipoma are the following:
- Location: The lumps of lipomas is often located under the skin. They often occur in the neck, shoulders, back, arms and thighs.
- Size: Most lipomas are small, usually less than 2 inches or 5 centimeters in diameter. When they grow large, the size can reach more than 4 inches or 10 centimeters.
- Feel: A lipoma feels soft and doughy, and moves easily with slight finger pressure. These are important characteristics different from lumps of cancer.
- Pain: When lipomas grow and press on nearby nerves or they contain many blood vessels, they may be painful.
