A member asked:
Have many lipomas. can they cause trouble? by pushing on nerves or something else? none ever hurt but are growing.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually does not: Cause trouble except for appearance. They have a small incidence of turning into sarcoma when they become larger than 4 inches or when they are located beneath muscle layer. They are soft, so they don't impinge on nerves or blood vessels.
