What are the lipomas on back?

Lipomas on the back and in any other region are nodular lesions that are soft to the touch, rounded, or have several lobulations. They are typically not anchored to deep planes, so the patient can move them when they touch them. They are often covered by normal-looking skin and can be more or less noticeable depending on their size.

The majority of back lipomas are subcutaneous in nature and do not exhibit particular symptoms other than the intermittent episodes of discomfort and inflammation. These are usually benign tumors that get bigger over time. 

Lipomas may sometimes become infected, causing the surrounding skin to turn red and enlarge. Between the ages of 40 and 60, lipomas are more noticeable. Lipomas on the back gradually enlarge to a diameter of 2 to 10 cm before becoming stable. They are often asymptomatic, though they can sometimes cause minor discomfort.

Lipomas on the back can appear as:

  • a small lipoma on back that is soft and mobile beneath the skin, maybe a few centimeters in size.
  • a large lipoma on back that could eventually enlarge, become more apparent, or cause pressure or discomfort.
  • a hard lipoma on back or one that feels stiffer than usual 
  • a fatty lipoma on back highlights its fat-cell origin
  • a lipoma on back near spine, which could indicate a deeper location or potential nerve pressure.

Additionally, there may be multiple lipomas on back, indicating more than one lump in a single area.

Types

  • Fibrolipomas

It is characterized by adipose tissue cells and fibrous, hard tissue cells.

  • Chondroid lipoma

A recently identified variant of lipoma called chondroid lipoma is characterized by the development of cells that resemble the cartilage covering some human joints.

  • Myolipoma

It is characterised by a combination of muscle and adipose or fatty tissue cells. Depending on the proportion of the two cells, myelolipoma can take many distinct forms.

  • Spindle cell lipoma

It is more common in young people’s shoulders, neck, and back. They have a combination of fibrous and adipose cells that resemble fibrolipoma.

  • Angiomyolipoma

The presence of a specific vascular component (blood vessels) that forms a portion of the lipoma itself is what distinguishes this type of lipoma. They often manifest throughout adolescence, are most commonly found on the trunk and lower limbs.

  • Lipoblastoma

It is a type of lipoma that develops from embryonic cells of adipose tissue. It is primarily distinguished by its early onset in the upper portions of the lower and upper limbs.

  • Hibernoma

It is a rare benign tumor that is mostly seen in the intracapsular and axilla regions. It is usually brown in color and is made up of brown adipose tissue.

Are you going through any of these symptoms?

Diagnosis

Usually, the patient himself notices the lipoma’s growth at first and contacts a doctor. For a definitive diagnosis, palpation and lesion inspection are required.

  • Physical Examination

A lipoma is usually diagnosed by medical professionals after a physical examination. Your doctor will examine the lipoma and may ask about any pain or stiffness.

  • Biopsy

Sometimes it is challenging to distinguish between the lipoma characteristics based only on inspection and examination. In such cases, a biopsy of the lesion and subsequent pathological analysis might be required. A biopsy also helps in confirming that it is not cancer. During a biopsy, a sample of the lipoma is taken and sent to the lab for analysis.

  • Imaging Tests

Lipomas are often confused with cysts. To get clear lipoma pictures on back​, your doctor might perform an imaging test, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound. These tests also help to determine the lipoma’s position, depth, presence of blood vessels, and whether it is pressing against adjacent tissues or nerves.

When should you see a doctor?

  • When you have a skin growth, a lump, or a knot under the skin. 
  • A proper evaluation is essential to rule out severe conditions, such as liposarcoma(a type of cancer). The symptoms of lipoma or liposarcoma are similar. 
  • Consult a doctor if you notice any changes in your symptoms, such as sudden pain. Or, when it begins to grow rapidly or feels hard and doesn’t move easily when you touch it.
  • Your doctor will examine the lipoma to check if it has blood vessels, which indicate a rare type of painful lipoma.

Lipoma on Back Treatment

Most lipomas are not harmful in nature and do not need treatment. However, your doctor can perform a lipoma surgery on back​, if it begins to bother you. The lipoma removal procedures are absolutely safe and effective, and usually the patient can go home the same day. 

  • Surgery: The doctor makes a small incision to remove the lipoma surgically. The patient can usually go home the same day. However, sometimes you may need to visit the doctor within a couple of weeks for the removal of the stitches. Your doctor might administer local anaesthesia to ensure the comfort of the patient.
  • Steroids: Steroidal medications help to shrink the tumor.
  • Liposuction: To remove the growth of fatty tissue, liposuction uses a long, thin needle.
