Do Lipomas generally tend to appear all at once?

Lipomas are really a mystery, even to the medical community. I, personally, have had over 200 of them removed and there has never been any rhyme or reason to their occurence. There is a really good website call LipomaForum that you can access and ask a lot of questions to others who are in the same situation. \nThey have links to see if your condition fits in with certain conditions such as Dercum's Disease, Madelung's Disease, Familial Lipomatosis, etc. Good Luck!!!

No. liposuction does NOT treat the problem in the long term. Most who have it done just gain the weight right back, nearly immediately. Just keep at it. Often you will "plateau" when losing weight. That's normal. It may last up to a month, but keep at it.

yes, check to Doctor and get it checked as soon as possible. It may be nothing but it is much safer to check these things out.  Good Luck!

First of all,  "nothing to worry about" couldn't be any further from the truth.  While it is true that most lumps in the neck end up being benign, it is always a very good idea to get them checked out by a physician.  If you are young the lump could be a lymph node, a lipoma (fatty tumor) or some sort of cyst.  However many malignancies present as lumps in the neck.  This is especially true if you are over the age of 50 or if you smoke or if you drink heavily.  Thyroid cancer can appear at any age.  It would be helpful to know your age, smoking history, duration and location of the lump.  Also is it tender, is it getting larger etc.  My advice is to get it checked especially if it is greater 1.5 cm in diameter.  See your physician, or an ear, nose and throat surgeon.

normally no. but it will depend on the region and mass that has been taken along with the medicines that you are taking after the operation.\nanyway this is common to many patients which usually gets resolved spontanously with time.\ntake care ,\nmay god help you

My grandmother had something similar and was just a blocked oil gland. (Tech name:  Sebaceous Cyst ) . It is fairly common, and really poses no threat, just knowing it is there is the main thing.  Her's did grow in size and was removed in her dr.'s office in just a few minutes.  But of course, you should have it checked out just to be on the safe side.

It's actually happened to a lot of women. I heard it was normal because it happened to me. My right is slightly bigger than my left, but you have to look for a long time to notice. I wouldn't worry about it.

Liposuction or tape worms.

I think you're thinking of liposarcoma, which is defined as a malignancy of fat cells. See the link below.

It's different for every patient. It's been 2 years since I was diagnosed and nothing yet for me.I'm on meds. Just type in facial lipostrophy in Google and you can read all about it.Hope this helps.

Ask your MD or surgeon who performs it. My sis had it done and there were complications afterwards, but they fixed it and now she has lost more weight and she likes the results.

Fatty tumors (lipomas) rarely are cancerous.  They're common in older people.  If they are in the muscle they can affect motion and can be painful if they get big.  I had one and got it cut out, my leg hurt for weeks.\nIf the doctor can't find any cause, look at your diet.  Leg pain can be caused by excessive consumption of diet drinks containing nutrasweet.  Cut out all nutrasweet consumption for 6 weeks and your pain will go away.

Yes, please see a doctor at once. This could be related to a bacteria, which is a flesh-eating bacteria. Goes through the circulatory system, often shows up in the legs / ankles area.

It could be anything from a lipoma to a sebaceous cyst?  You're doctor will have to examine it and maybe excise it to make the correct diagnosis.

It is most likely what most of the others are saying....body fat falls below a certain percentage and stuff starts happening. It isn't unusual...but that doesn't mean it isn't worth asking about. Next time you go see the doctor (hopefully a doctor that understands female athletes...you don't want one that says "oh, just sit on the couch and relax instead of running :>) ask the doctor about it. Remember...its YOUR body...take care of it...and when stuff happens that make you wonder....then ask the doctor. He/she should be able to answer EXACTLY what is going on and what the effects, if any, are.

fibromatosis: yes it can turn into cancer it is a type of tumor and any tumor has a chance of turning to a cancer although with this type it is rare.\nSometimes benign tumors can have a very aggressive course. Fibromatosis is a soft tissue tumor that has a nasty habit of many local recurrences if not completely excised. These tumors can be very painful and disfiguring. \nlipoma:no  it cant turn malignant\nThis is the most common benign soft tissue tumor of adults. They are sometimes multiple and usually painless and asymptomatic. Malignant transformation is virtually never seen. Angiolipoma is a common variant which has a proliferation of small vessels scattered throughout the fat. Unlike common lipomas, these tumors are usually painful

It could just be a fatty cyst, but get it checked out by a doctor...;
