Benign tumors: Lipomas are benign fatty tumors of the deep layer of the skin, and are usually painless. Then can move around a little, and they usually occur in other family members. If large, or in a sensitive location, they can be removed with liposuction, with minimal scar.

Unclear question: If i understand you, you are asking about lipomas being caused by trauma? They are not. One can see hard lumps form at the site of trauma due to fat necrosis (fat that is so severely bruised that is essentially dies and becomes a hard lump as the body tries to clean out the dead tissue). It may leave an hard, sometimes painful mass. (fascia is essentially the connective tissue over muscles.).

Fatty lump: A lipoma is an abnormal lump of fat, thought to be caused by trauma. It feels like a little lump under the skin, like a marble. Usually you can move it around, meaning that it isn't attached to the skin. If you are having pain, get the lipoma removed.
