Do lipomas come and go?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO: They do not 'come and go' , lipoma is a slow growing , benign tumor of fat tissue, once develop will not disappear , unless removed, rarely they can turn to malignant liposarcoma.

No: These benign “fatty tumors” tend to remain in place or grow slowly. Very rarely liposarcoma is discovered after excision.
