Lipomas
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Generally, lipomas are evaluated by specialists in the musculoskeletal system, since they are benign accumulations of fatty tissue that grow slowly beneath the skin.
What they are: They are soft lumps, movable to the touch, and almost always painless, which can appear on different parts of the body such as the back, the shoulders, or the arms.
When to pay attention to them: Although they are usually harmless, it is advisable to have them checked if they grow rapidly, hurt, or change in appearance.
Who to consult: The orthopedist can evaluate lipomas located near muscles and joints, assessing whether they require follow-up. If you notice a lump of this type and it raises doubts for you, the most sensible thing is to have a professional examine it and advise you on whether it should be monitored or studied in depth.
