A lipoma is a common, benign tumor composed of fatty tissue. Lipomas are soft to the touch, sometimes moveable, and are generally painless. They grow very slowly, and have not been found to become cancerous.

A lipoma is a common, benign fatty growth. Normally, they only need to be removed for cosmetic reasons.
