lipómát

Lipómát is a common benign tumor composed of adipose tissue, also known as fat tissue. These growths typically appear as soft, movable lumps just beneath the skin. Lipómát can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most frequently found on the trunk, neck, shoulders, arms, and thighs. Their size can vary greatly, from very small to several centimeters in diameter. While generally painless, some lipómát can cause discomfort if they press on nearby nerves. The exact cause of lipómát is not fully understood, but genetics and certain medical conditions may play a role. They are not cancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body. Diagnosis is usually made through a physical examination, and sometimes imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI may be used to confirm the diagnosis or assess larger or deeper lipómát. Treatment is generally not necessary unless the lipómát is causing pain, is cosmetically undesirable, or is growing rapidly. In such cases, surgical removal is the most common and effective treatment option. Other less common treatments include liposuction or steroid injections, which aim to shrink the lipómát. Lipómát are generally considered harmless and do not pose a significant health risk.
