1. Will subcutaneous lipoma hurt?

Most lipomas are benign and generally do not cause obvious pain. Even if there is occasional pain, it is only temporary. If the lipoma often causes pain or gradually grows larger, surgical removal is recommended. Otherwise, just observe. But subcutaneous lipomas are painful. Lipoma is a benign tumor that originates from adipose tissue. There is a thin connective tissue capsule around the tumor, which contains normal fat cells divided into leaf-like groups by connective tissue bundles. Some lipomas contain a lot of connective tissue or blood vessels in addition to a large amount of adipose tissue, forming a complex lipoma. It can occur in adipose tissue anywhere in the body, but rarely becomes malignant.

Subcutaneous lipoma is a very common skin lesion formed by the accumulation of normal fat cells. It accounts for about 80% of benign soft tissue tumors. It has no obvious special cause and often occurs under the skin, but can also occur in deep tissues such as internal organs. Mature adipocytes are arranged in groups, and most are surrounded by a fibrous outer membrane. However, sometimes there are scattered patches of irregularly marginated fat tissue infiltrating the muscle tissue. Lipomas are commonly found in the subcutaneous fat layer of the head, neck, shoulders and back. It can be multiple and can occur at any age, but is most often found between the ages of 40 and 60. The lesions are usually slow-growing, round, soft, movable, and painless to the touch.
