Lipoma Lipoma
Lipoma
By the proliferation of mature adipose tissue of the benign tumor formation. Was particularly prevalent in the 40 to 50-year-old adults. Tumor texture soft, round or lobulated, located in the skin, can promote; tumor size, such as jujube small, and can be tactile touch, the large surface to uplift, but the surface of normal skin. One or more tumor-fat, found in any part of body to shoulder, back, abdomen was found. No more symptoms. Angiolipoma is a special type of fatty tumor, the more often young people, and good fat in the lower extremities, can be conscious of pain, touch of tenderness also. Histopathological examination at the tumor can be seen in addition to large mature fat cells, but also to see the majority of vascular hyperplasia, the whole realm of the tumor clearly. Lipoma rarely cancerous, the general need for treatment; if a larger tumor, the impact of activities, or the near future, a sudden increase or rupture, it should be surgically removed.
Overview
Lipoma is a benign, occur in the skin. Tumor of a thin layer of connective tissue encapsulation with connective tissue bundles were divided into groups of normal lobulated fat cells. Lipoma some structural addition to a large number of adipose tissue, but also contain more connective tissue or blood vessels, which form a complex lipoma.
Lipoma (lipoma) by mature adipose tissue which consists of fibroids than in children found, where the existence of body fat may occur in parts. Lipoma of the fiber of a thin layer of intima, there are a lot of fiber cable, and vertical and horizontal spacing of the formation of many, the most common in the neck, shoulder, back, buttocks and breasts and limbs of the subcutaneous tissue, facial, scalp, scrotum and labia, followed by retroperitoneal and gastrointestinal wall, etc.; a very small number can be seen in the original non-adipose tissue sites. If the tumor in the proportion of fibrous tissue more fibrolipoma said.
Lipoma cause
Tumor of a thin layer of connective tissue encapsulation with connective tissue bundles were divided into groups of normal lobulated fat cells. Lipoma some structural addition to a large number of adipose tissue, but also contain more connective tissue or blood vessels, which form a complex lipoma.
Lipoma symptoms
Such tumors occur in the shoulder, back, buttocks and inner thighs, the head is also common pathogenesis. Subcutaneous fat is located inside the tumor sizes, mostly round or lobulated呈扁, clear boundaries; borders are hard to watch out for the possibility of malignant lipoma. Tumor soft flexible (note the difference between cysts and larger), and some fluctuations can have a sense of false. Tumor with epidermal adhesion, skin surface completely normal, the wider the base. Inspection of hand-pressed base lipoma shows lobulated morphology. Skin may appear "orange peel"-like. Very slow tumor development, most of the body without serious adverse effects are rarely malignant transformation.
In addition there is another type of multiple round or oval nodular Lipoma is commonly found in the limbs, waist, abdominal subcutaneous. Tumor size and number of uncertainties, lipoma slightly more general hardware, when the pain of oppression, which is called the pain of multiple lipoma or lipoma. Lipoma is a normal fat tissue of the tumor-like, so fat in the limbs, trunk, the general feeling of discomfort and pain-free. Lipoma of slow growth, multiple lipoma tumor generally smaller, softer texture, can be sexy Eremothecium. Lipomas often occur in a number of positions, there is family history. In the absence of obvious symptoms may not make any deal. Only in the event of the following circumstances, as well as malignant transformation may be only when the need for surgical resection: local pain discomfort; tumor or tumor greater impact on artistic activities affected the function of limbs; tumor growth accelerated, increased, suspected malignant; single lipoma in the deeper parts long.
Liposarcoma rather than lipoma, liposarcoma is a highly malignant tumor, and its rapid growth, larger tumor, texture hard, mostly single
Added:
Treatment
1. Small (1cm in diameter), multiple lipomas generally do not have to deal with. 2. The larger firms are advised to surgical resection.
Examination
1. Diagnosis of the disease based on symptoms and the main body search. Surface characteristics, especially mass. 2. In order to identify other diseases and to check the project may include a check box to limit "B".
Evaluation
Healing: a complete tumor resection, no recurrence.
Lipoma surgery complications
1, anesthesia accidents, resulting in breathing, cardiac arrest, life-threatening.
2, injury in surgery around the great vessels, causing bleeding, life-threatening.
3, after lipoma excision "syndrome": a series of clinical symptoms caused by, complicated by the rate of about 20-30%, specific symptoms are: intractable diarrhea, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia symptoms and tired of oil generalized weakness, pale, tired face malnutrition and other symptoms, such complications there is no effective treatment.
