What is a Lipoma?

A lipoma is a slowgrowing, fatty lump situated between the skin and the muscle layer. Composed of mature fat cells enclosed in a thin, fibrous capsule, lipomas are usually soft, movable, and painless. They can range in size from less than 1 cm to more than 6 cm in diameter. Although typically occurring in middleaged adults, lipomas can develop at any age and may occur anywhere on the body.

Types of Lipoma

Several types of lipomas exist, each with specific characteristics:

1. Superficial Subcutaneous Lipoma: Located just below the skin and the most common type.
2. Angiolipoma: Contains blood vessels and may cause pain.
3. Spindle Cell Lipoma: Found in older adults with a distinct cellular structure.
4. Fibrolipoma: Contains fibrous tissue, making it firmer.
5. Hibernoma: A rare type composed of brown fat cells.

What Causes Lipomas?

The exact cause of lipomas remains unknown, but several factors may contribute, such as:

Genetics: Familial Multiple Lipomatosis (FML) is a condition characterized by multiple lipomas, often passed down through generations.

Injuries: Some believe physical trauma may trigger lipoma formation, although not conclusively proven.

Medical Conditions: Lipomas are often associated with conditions like adiposis dolorosa and Madelung’s disease.

Symptoms of Lipomas

Lipomas are typically asymptomatic, but depending on size and location, they may lead to:

A soft, movable lump under the skin.

Gradual growth over months or years.

Rarely, pain or discomfort if pressure is applied to surrounding nerves.

When to See a Doctor

Consult a healthcare professional if you notice:

Rapid growth or changes in size.

Pain or discomfort in the affected area.

Firmness or any unusual symptoms like inflammation.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

A clinical examination is usually sufficient for diagnosing a lipoma. In some cases, imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI are recommended to distinguish lipomas from other types of tumors. A biopsy may be conducted if there are concerns about malignancy.

Surgical Removal of Lipoma

Surgical removal is the most effective treatment for problematic or bothersome lipomas. Dr. Imtiaz Hussain offers stateoftheart surgical options, ensuring complete removal with minimal scarring. Lipoma surgery involves making a small incision, removing the fatty lump, and suturing the incision site. For larger or deepseated lipomas, advanced techniques are employed to ensure optimal results.

Setting a New Record

Dr. Imtiaz Hussain has set a remarkable record in Pakistan by removing over 100 lipomas from a single patient’s abdomen, back, and arms. Despite the complexity, the procedure was successful, and the patient expressed immense satisfaction with the results. The remaining lipomas in the patient’s thighs, legs, and hips are scheduled for future removal, demonstrating Dr. Imtiaz’s commitment to thorough and effective treatment.
