Zeng Yingci, an actress in China, and Yuqi Zhang once uploaded a video to tell the bitter blood and tears of her lipoma; Han Ye Seul, a well-known Korean actress, recently reported that a medical accident occurred during lipoma resection, which caused a wide range of appalling injuries. Although lipoma is a benign tumor, it still makes people stay at a respectful distance from others. Most patients will worry that it will leave scars after lipoma resection and affect their appearance. What exactly is lipoma? How to judge whether you have lipoma? Outline of this article: Understand lipoma, how did lipoma come from? Characteristics of lipoma What is angiolipoma? What is the difference between lipoma and lipoma? How to treat lipoma? Will the tumor scar and recur? What is lipoma? How is it formed? According to the research data of Japanese society of plastic surgery, it is known that lipoma is caused by the continuous accumulation and enlargement of cells in subcutaneous adipose tissue, and the detailed reasons have not been ascertained. Histologically, lipoma is a variant of fat cells, but it is difficult to distinguish it from ordinary fat cells. The biggest difference and feature can be judged from the appearance. Lipoma is larger than normal cells in size and shape. If left untreated, it will gradually worsen, making patients' lives inconvenient, affecting their beauty and feeling painful and troubled. In addition, blood vessels are called angiolipomas. What are the characteristics of lipoma? Basically, it won't feel pain and itching, and it feels soft and elastic. Large area, unlike powder tumor, there will be protrusions. At ordinary times, I feel that my skin is swollen and obviously protruding, as if I have grown something. Lipomas vary in size from one centimeter to more than ten centimeters in diameter. A huge lipoma will bring inconvenience to life. Angiolipoma is a tumor filled with blood vessels, which will feel slightly painful to the touch. What is angiolipoma? According to the notes written by Japanese neurosurgeon Zecun, angiolipoma is a kind of tumor, and there are a lot of vascular tissues all over adipose tissue. It can't be called lipoma in essence, because it is a hemangioma with swelling of adipose tissue. Angiolipomas are usually asymptomatic and can only be found by accident; Or when blood vessels swell. It is also because the blood vessels are swollen. After examination, there will be adipose tissue in the hemangioma. Angiolipoma usually increases with age, and the number and proportion of cases also increase. If necessary, it will be treated with hemangioma. The difference between lipoma and lipoma is that lipoma is not large at first, so many people will confuse it with lipoma (epidermal cyst) and ignore it. The longer the result, the bigger it is. When they are in trouble, they will ask the doctor for help. But at this time, the lipoma has increased, and the risk of postoperative wound and infection will also increase. Then how can we distinguish the difference between the two and treat them as soon as possible? Powder tumor is the accumulation of horny old waste in the subcutaneous pocket; Lipoma, on the other hand, is the proliferation and accumulation of adipose tissue, and the causes of the two are very different. And they look different. Pink tumors are as big as beans, and the largest ones are as big as dates, so they are unlikely to get bigger. However, lipoma will gradually increase with time, and its size and area will be wider than lipoma. The most obvious difference is that lipoma will not have the black spot in the center of lipoma, and it will not flow out when squeezed. Location and race of lipoma. Lipoma can occur in any part of the body. In Taiwan Province Province, a patient's lipoma grew in his stomach and was ignored for a long time. When it was taken out, it had formed a tumor like a bowling ball in the stomach. But there are still several common parts for reference. Lipomas are most common in the back, shoulders and neck; Followed by the upper wrist, buttocks and thighs; There are also cases of face, scalp and calf, but compared with the first two, there are fewer cases. Because lipoma is related to adipose tissue, women, obese people and other types with more body fat are the groups with lipoma. And it is more common in women in their 40 s and 50 s and obese people. How to treat lipoma? The treatment of lipoma is mainly surgery, which will directly remove the whole tumor. Moreover, surgical resection can clean up the tumor, prevent lipoma from continuing to proliferate in the body, and the risk of postoperative recurrence is also low. Suck fat. If you choose liposuction, you can remove a lot of adipose tissue in lipoma, but what you have to worry about is that if liposuction is not clean, there is a great possibility of recurrence, which is not only laborious, but also costly. Will it become a malignant tumor? Lipoma is a benign tumor, but because it is a tumor mass, there is also a risk of pathological changes. However, the case of lipomatosis becoming malignant tumor is quite rare, and the possibility is almost less than 1%, so there is no need to worry too much. If you find that lipoma grows very fast and will make you feel pain, don't hesitate, please see a doctor immediately!
