​Dermatology - Lipoma

​Dermatology - Lipoma 
The fat cells that make up lipomas are normal-looking fat cells enclosed in a framework of connective tissue. Vascular elements are present in angiolipomas. Hundreds of slowly growing, nontender lesions are the hallmark of the autosomal dominant feature known as familial lipoma syndrome, which first manifests in early adulthood. Middle-aged women who develop adipositas dolorosa, also known as Dercum disease, have numerous painful, widespread fatty deposits that are not confined. Men in their middle age have benign symmetric lipomatosis, which is characterized by numerous big, nontender, coalescent, poorly delimited lipomas, primarily on the trunk and upper extremities; these lipomas can combine around the neck and give the impression of a "horse-collar."

Angiolipomas may become sensitive when compressed and in a chilly environment.
Damage
Lipomas are benign subcutaneous tumors that can range in size from one to several and up to more than six centimeters. They can be moved in relation to the skin above and are pliable, rounded, or lobulated.
Although they can develop anywhere, lipomas typically affect the neck, trunk, and extremities.

Clinical diagnosis is made.

While other lipomas should only be removed if they are thought to be disfiguring, angiolipomas frequently need to be removed. When lipomas are soft and have little to no connective tissue, liposuction can also be used.
