Multiple Lipomas

July 22, 2022/0 Comments/in Lipoma /by LipomaCyst Clinic

Multiple Lipomas

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, multiple 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.

Lipomas are also known as fatty tumors because they’re made up of fat cells. In fact, they’re sometimes called “fatty tumors” or “fatty lumps.”

Symptoms of Multiple Lipomas

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 Multiple lipomatosis

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 Lipomas

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 Lipoma. 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 skillfully 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 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 take up to 30-60 minutes, depending on the quantity and size, and you are safe to go home immediately. You can watch removals on our YouTube page.

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

Lipomas are fairly common. They can be found anywhere on the body, but are most often found under the arms, in the groin, around the neck and shoulders, or on the back of the head. Lipomas are soft, rubbery tumors that are generally painless.

Lipoma is a tumor composed of fat cells that grow in the fatty tissue. These types of tumors are benign (not cancerous). Your body produces new fat cells all the time to help store energy from food and use it when needed. Lipomas can form when these new fat cells grow more quickly than other cells in your body and outgrow their blood supply. This means that lipomas aren’t dangerous; however, they can cause problems if they get too big or press on nerves or blood vessels nearby.

Lipoma is caused by heredity factors such as genes or chromosomes (DNA). In some cases, lipoma can be caused by an imbalance between how much you exercise and how much you eat.

If you have a family history of lipoma or other conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol levels in your family members, you may be at higher risk for developing lipoma yourself
