Accepted Answer

Sketchy information: Not a picture of colon cancer, also not the age,  you need a Gastroenterologist to evaluate your condition better and do more comprehensive liver enzymes workup, goodluck

Question 2

do lipomas go away?

Accepted Answer

NO: Benign fatty tumors (lipomas) will persist, and possibly enlarge. No need to remove, however, unless they're on a pressure point or become uncomfortable or unsightly. Good luck.

Question 3

how large can a lipoma grow?

Accepted Answer

Larger than you want: First make sure your doc agrees its a lipoma. Other things benign or cancerous may be confused with lipoma. While lipomas are very rarely cancerous, any lipoma bigger than 3 inches should be removed completely especially ones that are on the arms or legs.

Question 4

why do people develop lipomas?

Accepted Answer

It's unknown.: Lipomas are extremely common, benign fatty tumors that typically appear on the truck, arms and or thighs.  They are typically slow growing, soft lumps just under the skin that appear in middle age.  The cause is not really known, although there may be a familial predisposition.  The only way to get rid of one is by surgery, but often they are just left alone.

Question 5

can you tell me about lipomas?

Accepted Answer

Fatty tumor: A lipoma is composed of fatty tissue and is a common soft tissue benign tumor. Lipomas are generally found underneath the skin in the fatty layer, are soft to the touch, usually movable, and are generally painless.  They can be removed surgically as an outpatient, many times under a local anesthetic (depending on location).  You may read of new procedures, their long term success are unproved.

Question 6

are lipomas usually hard or soft?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Usually rubbery firm, some are softer, mobile and superficial near the skin surface. But some can be deep. Smaller ones may be more firm. Needs a physical exam with a doctor to tell.

Question 7

can lipomas go away on their own?

Accepted Answer

No: But all of them do not need to be removed. If they are increasing rapidly or uncomfortable then have it removed. And make sure a provider that removes lipomas looks at it and agrees with that diagnosis.

Question 8

can lipoma be hard or always soft?

Accepted Answer

Lipoma: lipomas are made of fat, and they are soft.

Question 9

how can i remove my lipoma from body?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: Lipomas should be removed if they are getting larger, causing symptoms, or show signs on exam for concern.  Surgery is required to remove them, but if they are small they can be removed in the clinic.

Question 10

does liposonix work to remove lipomas?

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't try it...: I am very skeptical that the procedure works as advertised at all. But as for lipomas, they are not normal fat collections. Trying to break them up with ultrasound is unlikely to work. I'd save my $3, 000 and talk to a general surgeon. Many can be done under local anesthesia in the office. And much cheaper with less pain.
