A lipoma is a lump of fatty tissue between your skin and the underlying muscle.
It feels rubbery, and you may be able to move it around a bit. A lipoma is usually painless, harmless, and not cancerous.
Lipomas tend to grow slowly over months or even years. Although the rare lipoma may become as large as 8 inches, most stay smaller than 2 inches.
A lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor in adults, occurring in one in every 1,000 people.
It can develop in people of any age, even in newborns, but it typically appears in adults between ages 40 and 60.+
