Lipomatoosne

Lipomatoosne is a rare, benign tumor composed of mature fat cells. It is a type of lipoma, which are generally soft, movable lumps that appear just under the skin. Lipomatoosne specifically refers to a lipoma that is particularly large or has a lobulated (having many lobes) appearance. While the exact cause is unknown, lipomatoosne, like other lipomas, is thought to arise from a genetic predisposition or metabolic abnormality. They can occur at any age but are most common in middle-aged adults. These tumors are typically painless and grow slowly over months or years. They are most frequently found on the trunk, neck, and upper arms. Diagnosis is usually made through a physical examination, though imaging techniques such as ultrasound or MRI may be used for larger or deeper lesions. In some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions. Treatment is generally not required unless the lipomatoosne causes discomfort, interferes with function, or is a cosmetic concern. Surgical excision is the most common method for removal, and recurrence after removal is uncommon.
