Lipomas
Lipomas: Benign, but unpleasant
Lipomas are benign tumors made of fat tissue that affect about 2% of the population, mainly people 40–60 years of age. They are usually painless and are located in the upper back, shoulders, and abdomen. Medically harmless, lipomas cause distress because they are unattractive, and there is no treatment today aside from surgical removal.
