Lipoma Picture

A lipoma is a benign tumor composed of fatty tissue. The most common kind (known as "superficial subcutaneous") is located just below the surface of the skin, although lipomas are found anywhere in the body that fat is located. The tendency to develop lipomas is generally hereditary, although some doctors believe that minor injury may trigger their growth.
