So what is lipoma? Will it become cancerous? Need an operation? In view of these common problems, I will tell you today.

Lipoma is a common benign tumor, which can occur in any fat part. This is a common surgical disease. Some cases can occur in limbs, mainly under the skin, or between deep limbs and muscular abdomen. Patients are older and less common in children.

Deep lipomas usually grow along muscles and can reach the periosteum, but rarely invade adjacent bones. The harm of lipoma is that its huge volume will oppress adjacent tissues and cause discomfort, and malignant transformation is extremely rare.

1, lipogenic factor, under the influence of various internal and external environmental stimuli, causes abnormal proliferation of normal adipocytes and surrounding tissue cells, forming lipoma.

2, excessive drinking in dietary factors, often eating fat, animal offal, scaleless fish or egg yolk. , leading to too much new adipose tissue, so that too many fat cells in the body accumulate and harden.

3. Stress factors: Excessive working pressure and irritability will interweave normal adipose tissue and blood stasis, forming connective tissue to wrap adipose cells for a long time, forming lipoma.

Once lipoma occurs, it will not disappear naturally, so patients should not have this one-sided understanding.

Lipoma is a benign tumor of human body. Once it happens, it will gradually increase. The occurrence of lipoma is related to abnormal fat metabolism. In addition, long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation can also lead to lipoma in patients. Once the diagnosis of lipoma is confirmed, if the patient has no obvious surgical contraindications, it is suggested that the patient should undergo active surgical treatment to cure the patient's disease.

Preoperative examination and evaluation are very necessary. It is necessary to adjust the patient's physical condition to ensure the safe and smooth operation. There should be good anesthesia during the operation, all operations should be gentle and fast to avoid excessive collateral damage, and lipoma and its capsule should be completely removed. The patient recovered well after operation and the prognosis was good.

This is a problem that many people are very worried about. Can lipoma become cancer? You don't have to worry, this situation is extremely rare, and it is only a theoretical possibility, so you don't have to worry too much.

Most lipomas grow slowly, or after growing to a certain size, they will not change and do no harm to the body, so they do not need treatment.

Surgical resection can be considered if:

(1) The tumor grows hard in a short time and may become malignant.

(2) Lipoma grows on the face, neck and other parts, which affects the appearance;

(3) Lipoma compresses nerves, causing pain and affecting joint activities.

Lipoma resection is a very small operation, which can generally be done in an outpatient clinic without hospitalization, and then you can go home. But the operation will leave scars, so you must be careful when doing the operation.
