Overview
Lipoma tends to affect individuals of 40 to 60 years of age. They are completely benign and recurrence is one of their complications.
Natural History
- Lipoma usually affects individuals of 40 to 60 years of age.[1][2][3]
- It usually presents with a slowly growing soft tissue mass, typically less than 10 cm.
- Trunk, shoulder, upper arm, and neck are the most commonly affected locations.
- They are completely benign, but reoccurrence is one of the complications.
- Malignant transformation is rarely reported.
- Recurrence is more common among deeply located lipomas, given the increased difficulty for complete removal.
Complications
- The complications of lipoma listed below:[4]
- Recurrence (<5%)
- Malignant transformation (rarely reported)
Prognosis
- Prognosis is excellent. [4]
- Lipomas are completely benign.
