Lipoma - a soft movable subcutaneous sites (often have well-defined capsule), over which the skin remains normal. A person may be one such site or many. Lipomas are more common in women than in men.

They are usually on the torso, neck, shoulder blades and forearms (men are often on the face). With few exceptions, asymptomatic, though sometimes painful, can cause discomfort, squeezing the surrounding organs. Malignant degeneration is rare, mostly benign growth.

Treatment is usually not required, but if the lipoma interferes, it can be removed surgically or by suctioning its contents.
