A lipoma is a type of benign tumor formed by fat cells that accumulate under the skin. It appears as a smooth, rounded lump that can be moved when touched.
Typically, lipomas are painless and often harmless, though they may grow slowly over time. Lipomas can be found in different parts of the body, such as the neck, arms, legs, or trunk.
In most cases, they do not require medical treatment, but if they cause discomfort or aesthetic concern, surgical removal may be considered.
