You most likely: have MULTIPLE LIPOMATA a GENETIC disorder. If this is properly Diagnosed the "rule" is have ONLY THOSE WHICH give you PAIN or SUDDENLY ENLARGE or become HARD?FIXED removed! You should be followed by a Health Care Provider who understands the disorder and how to follow patients with the disoprder. Hope this helps! Dr Z
