Multiple Lipomas

July 22, 2022/0 Comments/in Lipoma /by Khaled Sadek

Multiple Lipoma

Lipoma is a slow-growing lump of fatty tissue that resides under the skin. They can grow anywhere on the body, usually on your back, arms, shoulders and neck. Although it is classified as a tumour, Lipomas are generally benign and considered harmless. Nonetheless, it is wise to get them checked by your doctor.

In some cases, you may even have more than one lipoma, termed as Familial Multiple Lipomatosis (FML), or Multiple Lipoma. These can vary in size and are commonly located the torso, arms and upper legs.

It is stated that 1 in every 1000 people has a lipoma. They can affect people of all genders and occur at any age, with the age group of 40 to 60 being most susceptible.

Symptoms of Lipoma

A Lipoma appears roundish, feeling doughy and rubbery at touch. They are commonly small, not exceeding the size of a ten pence coin and sit in the subcutaneous layer, between muscle and skin. Small lipomas are very mobile and usually are not attached to any underlying tissue, such as fascia or muscles.

However, long-term Lipoma may grow larger, sizing up to a ‘golf ball’ size and can embed itself in the muscle.

Lipomas are often painless. In some instances, due to size and location, you may feel discomfort.

Causes of Lipoma

Scientists are yet to discover the exact cause of lipoma growth. However, it is understood that genetics plays a key role in lipoma development, suggesting lipomas to be hereditary.

If you have a family history of lipomas, you may be susceptible to developing multiple-lipomas or recurring lipoma. This can also happen even after removing multiple lipoma, as a result of new ones growing.

Diagnosis of Multiple Lipoma

Your doctor can easily diagnose a lipoma by examination. This includes the doctor having a look and feel at the lump.

In some cases, your doctor might recommend having an ultrasound prior to surgical removal, to understand the depth and anatomy of the lipoma, and its attachment to the body. However, in most cases, this is not necessary.

Treatment available at LipomaCyst

At LipomaCyst, we offer same-day surgical removal of Lipomas and Multiple Lipomas. Surgical lipoma removal is carried out under local anaesthetic, where it is removed entirely through a small incision.

Under our expert lead, incisions are performed skilfully in order to create the smallest of incisions for minimal scarring and quick healing, with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue layers.

The removal of Multiple Lipomas may take a few sessions. This is due to the safety limit on how much local anaesthetic can be administered in one sitting. Surgical removal of Lipoma and Multiple Lipoma take just 30-60 minutes and you are safe to go home immediately.

After surgical removal, your doctor may recommend further checks such as a biopsy upon the mass, to determine histopathology and further eliminate the small risk of cancerous cells.

 

Other Conditions similar to Familial Multiple Lipomatosis

Although most multiple lipomas are painless, rare cases can result in pulsating pain upon touch. This is termed as Dercum’s disease, a rare condition where pain flares from touching multiple lipomas, due to their proximity to neighbouring nerves or inflamed tissue.

Another condition to note is Madelung disease. Unlike FML, Madelung disease primarily affects the upper back, neck and jaw, with lumps consisting of fatty tissue arranged in a symmetrical manner. Madelung disease can commonly be mistaken for FML.

Summary

Multiple Lipomas are soft, benign lumps of fat that upper body. If you wish to rid of your lipomas, you may consider having them surgically removed.

Forehead Lipoma Risks

October 1, 2021/0 Comments/in Lipoma /by Khaled Sadek

What is a Forehead Lipoma?

Forehead lipomas are benign fatty growths that form on the forehead. Forehead lipomas are not life-threatening but are a cause of distress. Forehead lipomas are usually removed when they become too noticeable.
Lipomas on the head are particularly disfiguring and patients often complain of low self-esteem, bullying or making changes to their appearances to prevent the lipoma being observed.

Causes of a Forehead Lipoma

Forehead lipomas are most often caused by trauma to the affected area. Unlike pilar cysts, forehead lipomas are not usually reported to have a genetic basis. See a more extensive material on pilar cysts here.
Patients recall having developed lumps on the scalp as a result of an accident or a direct trauma. Repeated insults to the head, such as heading a football, can also be a cause of developing a fatty lump.

Forehead Lipoma Removal

Forehead lipoma removal is more complex than other cyst excisions.
Unlike cysts, or pilar cysts, lipomas are fatty lumps and present in the form of a fatty pad that lays underneath the skin and sometimes underneath a muscular layer.
Lipoma tissue is more friable than cyst tissue, therefore their removal is trickier and it requires a skilled practitioner to perform this surgery.
Forehead lipomas are usually removed during a minor surgery procedure, under local anaesthetic. The removal steps are similar to cyst removal and they involve numbing of the affected area, a small incision of the skin, lipoma excision and suturing of the incision.

Forehead lipoma surgery poses its risks.

The main risk of surgery is bleeding during and/or after the procedure. The human head is webbed in small, medium and large blood vessels and sometimes, depending on their location, lipomas are deemed to be unsafe for removal under local anaesthetic. Very rarely the lipoma may lay very close to the location of a nerve, if this is the case then the procedure is unlikely to be performed at the clinic.

How To Treat Lipomas

February 26, 2021/2 Comments/in Lipoma /by Khaled Sadek

In this weeks online YouTube tutorial Dr Khaled Sadek discusses the causes and management of lipomas. A lipoma is a benign fatty growth which can increase in size over time. Unlike normal fat under the skin, a lipoma tends to grown in a mass. This is known as a benign growth, and is not cancerous. Lipoma often need to be removed for a number of reasons; discomfort, appearance, increased size, pain.

The cause of Lipoma growth is unknown but there are a number of factors which are associated with their presence. The most common feature is a family history. There is a genetic element to the growth of lipomas, but they can also occur at random. Trauma is also associated with lipoma growth. Often common sites of trauma include the shoulder and forehead. Over time these lipomas can increase in size.

In a very few rare conditions, the lipoma growth can turn into a cancerous growth. These are known as liposarcoma. For this reason its important to send tissue samples to the laboratory for histological analysis. Lipoma removal is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you are awake throughout the surgery. Once the lipoma is removed, the skin is brought together with stitches. These stitches remain in place for 10 days.

If you would like more information on lipoma treatment then please get in touch and we will provide you with a free consultation.
