Genetic counselor!: You have lipomatosis, meaning many lipomas. They are usually benign and don't cause problems. However, if yours are causing pain, you could have Dercum's disease, which is a rare genetic disorder. There are other rare genetic disorders that cause lipomatosis, and some increase your risk for cancer. Don't worry, but ask your doctor to refer you to a genetic counselor to find the answer!
