Have these taken out: If you are concerned ask doctors to take one out and send to lab for pathology report as a rule most tissues removed are sent for histology.Most fatty lumps called lipoma are not removed always.

Lipoma?: Fatty lumps (lipomas) are common and often appear as multiples. Tissue removed should be sent to lab for pathologic diagnosis.

Not a problem: Some people are predisposed to forming lipomas, so not necessarily a problem. If another one becomes uncomfortable and needs removed, it can be sent for pathology confirmation to alleviate concerns.

Lipoma: Lipomas are common fatty lumps under the skin. They can occur as a single lesion, and many times there may be more than one or others may develop over time. They are usually of no concern unless they are growing fast. Usually lipomas are not removed unless there is a request by the patient to remove or if there are other reasons the physician may recommend removal.
