Lipoma, like most benign tumors develops slowly but may be significant in size. Degenerates into a malignant tumor lipoma is extremely rare, but still can not rule out such a rebirth. However, such a tumor should promptly removed using surgery.

What is a lipoma

Lipoma - a benign tumor of adipose tissue. Develops it in a place where there is fatty tissue. Most often, this is a single tumor (solitary) and is located under the skin, at least - in the back muscles. Multiple lipomas are relatively rare, they usually have or hereditary origin, or develop on the background of endocrine diseases.

Subcutaneous lipomas are outwardly rounded soft (gelatinous) mobile education, which can be felt on the skin surface. Sometimes it feels unable to determine lobulation lipomas.

Lipoma grows very slowly and no unpleasant feeling is not until until it reaches a large size, starts getting hurt or clothes becomes significant cosmetic defect.

Lipomas located deep in tissue, have not such a clear boundary. They often spread interfascial spaces in muscles using special processes. Large tumors of this type can compress the surrounding soft tissues, breaking them into circulation.

Types lipomas

The following types of lipomas: subcutaneous lipoma, miolipoma soft tissue perinevrolnaya lipoma (affects nerve trunk), intravertebral lipoma, lipoma tendon sheath and synovial joint lipoma located in the back muscles, angiomyolipomas, including small blood vessels, which can be located in the kidneys, or under the skin, adenolipomy - lipoma, comprising a fabric of the sweat glands.

Diagnosis lipomas

But large scale solid tumor located deep in the tissue of the patient should be carefully examined to rule out cancer. For this purpose, a piece of tumor taken for histological examination. The tissue lipomas can detect node adipose tissue in a thin connective tissue capsule. When the tumor section, you can see that it has a lobed structure and a well-developed capillary network. In the long-existing lipoma may develop degenerative processes.

It should be distinguished from lipoma liposarcoma - just for this tissue resected tumor histological examination to be sure.

Subcutaneous lipomas removed under local anesthesia together with a capsule deeper - under general anesthesia. It is important that the removal of lipomas moved his surgeon in a medical institution, as if the lipoma is not completely removed, there will be a recurrence of the disease. Today the removal of lipomas often carried out endoscopic method using a special optical equipment. This allows operation with minimum damage to surrounding tissues.
