A lipoma is a knot of fatty tissue that is usually found just below the skin (subcutaneous). Lipomas can occur almost anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the trunk, shoulders, neck, and armpits. Lipomas can rarely form in muscles and internal organs.

 

A lipoma can be described as a rubbery bulge that feels like it can move. Lipomas tend to grow slowly, often over a period of months or years. They are usually small (usually less than 2 inches across). Sometimes larger lipomas do occur, with some reaching almost 8 inches across.

 

Lipomas are fairly common, occurring in 1 in every 1,000 people. People with a lipoma usually have only 1, though about 20% of those affected can have several.

 

Lipomas affect all age groups and can even be present at birth; however, they usually form in people who are between the ages of 40 and 60.
