Lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) growth of fat cells under the skin, typically soft, movable, and painless. These fatty lumps grow slowly and are commonly found on the neck, back, shoulders, arms, or thighs.

• Minor injuries or trauma
• Age (more common in adults 40–60)

Common Symptoms:
• Soft, rubbery lump under the skin
• Moves slightly when pressed

Treatment Options:
