Smart step.: Lipoma is a benign fatty tumor, it looks a certain way, and is usually harmless, although it can grow in size and eventually be uncomfortable. Vascular enhancement means that you have a stronger vascular supply. Malignant tumors usually have a stronger vascular supply. A biopsy puts the mass under a microscope and makes sure it is in fact a lipoma. Purpose is to make sure.
