A lipoma is a slow-growing, soft and usually non-cancerous lump formed due to an overgrowth of fat cells beneath the skin. Lipomas commonly appear on the neck, shoulders, arms, back, abdomen or thighs. While most lipomas are harmless, some may grow larger, cause pain or lead to cosmetic discomfort.

At Alpha Super Speciality Hospital, Wakad, our experienced doctors perform detailed clinical examinations and necessary investigations to confirm whether the lump is a lipoma or another type of tumour. Early diagnosis helps in timely treatment and prevents complications.
