anyone out there familar with Lipoma?

Question

my aunt went to the doctor and she thought it was a cyst but he told her it was Lipoma and that it's harmless but she may need surgery to remove it. ever heard of it before?

Answer 1

A lipoma is a benign tumor composed of fat. Yes, they are generally harmless, but they can be unsightly or cause problems by compressing surrounding tissues. A lot of it depends on where exactly it's located. Surgery usually consists of simple excision, again influenced by location or size.

Answer 2

It is just an encapsulated mass of normal fat. No problem.
