Lipomas are non-cancerous, slow-growing tumors composed of fat tissue.
Lipomas are usually found just under the skin, and feel soft to touch. They are usually shaped like a dome. Most lipomas don’t cause any pain or other symptoms. But this depends on where in the body it is. If a lipoma is deeper inside your body, you won’t be able to see or feel it. But it might press on other organs or nerves, and cause symptoms. For example, a lipoma might affect the bowel can cause a blockage. If this happens you may become constipated and feel sick.
You can get lipoma anywhere on the body where you have fat cells.
