What is lipoma?

Gastric lipomas are rare benign stomach tumors that account for less than 3% of all benign gastric neoplasms. They are usually asymptomatic and originate from the submucosal layer. Larger lesions can cause hemorrhage, gastric outlet obstruction, and stomach pain. Rarely does malignant transformation occur. With computed tomography, a precise preoperative diagnosis can be obtained. Since the lesion is benign, a simple excision of the lesion is sufficient, and additional surgery is not required. Lesions that are small and asymptomatic can be monitored.

What is lipoma in stomach?

An abdominal lipoma is a lump of fat located between the skin and the muscle layer. These nodules are covered in normal-looking skin and have a rounded shape and soft feel. You may see how lipomas move beneath our skin when you touch them because they are usually found at a more superficial level rather than being attached to deeper levels of our bodies.  

Lipomas can be as small as a lentil or they might enlarge and become noticeable to the naked eye. 

Lipoma in stomach symptoms​

  • Upper abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Intussusception, where one part of the intestine slides into another, causing an intestinal blockage
  • Chronic gastrointestinal bleed
  • Gastric outlet obstruction

Sometimes, the lipoma in the stomach can become infected and increase in size, causing the reddening of the skin.

Are you going through any of these symptoms?

Causes

The following are the risk factors that can influence the development of lipoma in the stomach. 

  • Obesity. Excessive weight gain is usually linked to the development of lipoma’s fatty lumps.
  • Gender. Women tend to accumulate more fat in different parts of the body, such as the breasts, abdomen, or thighs. Lipomatosis(multiple lipomas) is, however, more common in men. 
  • Injuries or blows. A blow or an injury may also lead to the growth of a lipoma. These injuries are most commonly caused on the thighs and legs, although they do not occur very often. 
  • Alcohol. Consuming excessive alcohol increases the risk of developing multiple lipomas(lipomatosis).
  • Medical health conditions. A liver disease or difficulty with controlling the blood sugar increases the risk of developing an abdominal lipoma. 
  • Hereditary. If any of your parent or family members has a lipoma, then you have a higher chance of developing one.

Diagnosis

To diagnose a lipoma, your healthcare professional may:

  • Examine it.
  • Remove a tissue sample (biopsy) for lab examination.
  • Recommend an X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan if the lipoma is large.

There’s a very small chance that a lipoma lump may be a cancer called liposarcoma. Liposarcomas are cancerous tumors in fatty tissues. They grow rapidly, don’t move under the skin, and often are painful.

Treatment

Lipomas in the stomach are usually asymptomatic; however, if the lesions grow too large, they become painful, affect a person’s mobility, and require surgical removal. Below-mentioned are a few of the common methods to remove a lipoma. 

During liposuction, a tiny tube called a cannula is connected to a device that creates suction to aspirate the fat from the lipoma. The tiny cannula is inserted using a tiny incision. Any residual lipoma after the liposuction can be removed with the help of a small incision. This procedure leads to a small scar, which has major cosmetic advantages. Liposuction offers a decreased surgical time and can remove numerous lipomas through one opening. 

  • Surgical removal

The most popular treatment for lipoma is surgical excision (removal). It offers good post-operative outcomes and minimal complications. The chances of recurrence are minimal with surgical excision. Small incisions (cuts) of three to four millimeters are made during this outpatient surgery, which is carried out under local anesthetic. To separate the lipoma from the surrounding tissues, a surgical tool is introduced into the cuts. For optimal healing, the incision is sutured and covered with a waterproof dressing. It is a safe and effective procedure, ensuring the complete removal of lipoma.

Procedure

  • To ensure you don’t experience any pain during the surgery, the surgeon will administer local anesthesia.
  • The lipoma in the stomach is then removed by the doctor after making a skin incision. 
  • The doctor will use a stitch to seal the wound at the very end. 
  • Lipomas in the stomach can be surgically removed in around 30 to 40 minutes. 
  • After the procedure is complete, the doctor could provide you with some advice on how to take care of the surgical scar.

You can speak with the experts at Pristyn Care for individualized and thorough assistance, and if you would like to have your condition evaluated by a specialist.

After the surgery

  • Mild pain and discomfort after the effects of anaesthesia are over is normal.
  • Waterproof dressing over the surgical site and the post-operative wound care instructions are given after the surgery. 
  • The patient is kept under observation for at least an hour after the surgery before being allowed to go home. 
  • Your doctor may prescribe certain pain relief medications to manage the post-operative pain and discomfort. 
  • For proper healing, you must rest on the day of the surgery. It will also help boost the immune system.

Next day after the surgery

  • The doctor may recommend taking long naps for better healing and quicker recovery. 
  • Mild pain and discomfort after the surgery are normal. You can consume pain-relief medications to address the same. 
  • Avoid bathing or taking a shower for at least a week(as the doctor prescribes), to prevent the infection in the surgical wound. Opt for a sponge bath instead. 

FAQs

How to cure lipoma in stomach area?

Depending on the location and symptoms, lipoma in stomach area can be treated either with surgery or endoscopy. Surgical excision is usually recommended for larger or deeper lipomas. Smaller submucosal lipomas within the gastrointestinal tract can be treated with minimally invasive endoscopic techniques.

What causes lipoma in the stomach?

Genetic factors, obesity, diabetes, physical trauma, or injury play an important role in causing the development of lipoma in the stomach. Lipomas are non-cancerous fatty tumors that can form anywhere in the body.

Why do I have so many lipomas in my stomach?

People usually develop 1 or 2 lipomas. However, some may develop multiple lipomas in the stomach due to rare inherited conditions. 

Is lipoma in stomach dangerous?

Lipomas in the stomach are harmless, non-cancerous fatty lumps, and are extremely common. However, when the lesions grow larger and begin to press on the surrounding areas and tissues, they may cause complications.
