Overview
Risk Factors
The exact cause of lipomas isn't clear. Studies suggest the following factors may involve in the development of lipoma.
- Injury: Sometimes lipomas are detected after an injury. Some doctors report minor injuries may be a trigger of the growth of a lipoma.
- Genetic factor: Because lipomas also tend to run in families, genetic factors likely play a role in their development.
