LIPOMA SURGERY
Lipomas are localised collections of fat cells that grow slowly beneath the skin in the subcutaneous tissue. They can occur anywhere on the body where fat tissue is present. A person may develop a single lipoma or multiple lipomas, which are generally benign and not cancerous.
A dome-shaped or egg-shaped lump under the skin with a rubbery texture when touched. People may not notice a lipoma until it becomes large enough to be visible or palpable. Over time, lipomas grow slowly, often over several years. They are most frequently located on the shoulders, neck, trunk, and arms, though they can appear anywhere on the body.
- Physical Examination: Palpation to assess size, consistency, and mobility.
- Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may be required for deeper or atypical lipomas to distinguish them from other masses.
- Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC): To confirm the benign nature of the lipoma if malignancy is suspected.
- Histopathology Examination: Performed on excised tissue to confirm the diagnosis.
- If the lipoma is painful or tender.
- If the lipoma grows large or affects movement or function.
- For cosmetic concerns or if the appearance of the lipoma is bothersome.
- If the diagnosis is unclear and malignancy needs to be ruled out.
- Simple Surgical Excision: Complete removal of the lipoma along with its capsule.
- Narrow Hole Extraction Technique: Removal through a small incision, often leaving a smaller scar.
- Liposuction: Suitable for larger lipomas or those in areas requiring minimal scarring.
Follow-up on day 5, day 15, or as advised by your dermatosurgeon. Suture removal is usually done during one of these visits. Keep the wound clean and dry, monitor for infection signs like redness or swelling, and take prescribed pain relief medications.
