A member asked:
I have limpoma (fatty knot ) on my left hand. how is this normally removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgically : Lipoma is a benign fat-containing mass located under the skin (sometimes may be intra-musclular). It is surgically removed through a cut in the skin overlying the lipoma. Procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and some sedation (unless it is very big and deep or multiple).
