A subcutaneous lipoma is a benign (meaning not cancerous) tumor consisting of fat (heard of lipo suction?) located under the skin (subcutaneous). These can be surgically removed if they are unsightly or bothersome.

A fatty lump under the skin.

A lipoma is a fatty lump. Subcutaneous means right under the skin.
