¿Qué es el lipoma
Definición:
Un lipoma es un crecimiento no canceroso de células de tejido adiposo. Un lipoma puede desarrollar en casi cualquier órgano del cuerpo, aunque se encuentra más comúnmente en la capa subcutánea debajo de la piel. Un lipoma generalmente crece lentamente y es una masa no dolorosa que es suave y móvil bajo la piel. Los lipomas también puede estar asociada con otros síndromes en los que no son tan inofensivos.
Although lipoma may develop in varying age groups, it is primarily seen in the third and fourth decade of life. The occurance of Lipoma is more prevalent in woman than men; and is usually a single lipoma instead multiple. Men on the other hand have a higher incidence of multiple lipoma on their body. When there are multiple occurrences of lipoma this is references as Adiposa dolorosa which may be hereditary. Children (congenital) lipomas are rare and usually stem from a hereditary condition and are mostly inherited.
“A rare disease called adiposis dolorosa a swelling of the body and fatty deposits (lipomas) occur which apply pressure to the nerves; this results in weakness and sometimes extreme pain. The amount of discomfort, irritation, or pain from the growth of a lipoma depends upon where in the body and what surrounding tissue or organ the lipoma has affected.”Source: http://bit.ly/dAwkZu
Causes: Lipoma is not fully understood in the medical world. There are some beliefs among doctors that the occurrence of lipoma is hereditary and can even be triggered by minor injury. My grandpa had about 6-8 lipomas the size of quarters on both his right and left forearms so this hereditary claim carries a little weight with me., but who knows at this point if it really had a major influence into my case. I’d rather explore alternatives that provide insight into the “WHY” and “HOW” these lipomas develop and “WHAT” to do about removing them yourself from a nutritional therapeutic point of view. Here’s a snap-shot image of the lipoma on my right forearm.

Cures/Solutions: Surgery is one option. My personal opinion, as mentioned above, is to try to heal them from within if at all possible and then consider surgery last. All the sources I have read thus far state there is no cure for lipoma and you have to either “deal with them” your entire life, or have the surgically removed. I for one don’t believe there is no “cure” for lipoma, I just think there hasn’t been enough research done on the subject to merit such as claim as of yet. I am far more fond of attacking the root of any problem instead of temporarily deleting the symptom.
Symptoms: Other than seeing and feeling the fat deposits on your body, you may experience nerves being pinched as a result of the lipoma build up.
My perspectives about lipoma involve a few aspects that deal directly with heredity as it relates or is triggered by the lack of or abuse of nutrition, exercise, the ones spirit and power of the mind. My research of the cause of lipoma appears that heredity is consistently point at as being a major reason why these hard fat deposits develop. If heredity is the culprit the foods we eat, the environment we live in, the air we breath, and other factors could very well influence or trigger certain genes in the body to express themselves resulting in benign fat nodules developing primarily in the subcutaneous tissue layers of skin in various places on the body. I’m currently tracking the current state of condition I am in, the foods I eat, the dates and forms of exercise, and an assessment of the state of mind I create for myself. The things I am changing and trying out in my life to naturally remove lipoma can be found on the Lipoma Journal. Paying attention and tracking these items I believe may provide some extra insight into naturally removing lipoma without surgery and may help others make educated decision about what could be best for them. Doing this should not only attack the root of the cause of lipoma, but provide the entire body with overall improved health.

I literally have hundreds of them. I am currently sitting in a dermatologists office waiting to be seen. I’ve already had dozens removed, but I’m hoping this guy can provide some alternatives. Please keep me posted of your research.

I will for sure post my findings on this site; thanks for your comment. Thus far the herbal product on this site is helping. No additional lipomas are appearing and the ones I have seem to be shrinking slow but sure. The herbal H-factor dissolve being used in combination with the increase of exercise, taking CLA supplements, substituting dairy products with non-dairy, getting adequate sleep, all are factors as well I’m sure. Let me know what the dermatologist says, I’d be interested to know. By chance to you have ancestors who had lipoma? Take care!

Just wondering if you ever found relief to your lipoma problem. If not I can tell you what worked for me.
May 18, 2012 @ 14:59:19
I haven’t updated my status in a while, but your comment is a good reminder to give an update here and then I’ll write a new post on this to provide more detail. To date the lipomas I have have decreased in size a few millimeters using the products on this site, but have not dissolved as of yet. Yes, if you’ll share your experience that would be helpful I’m sure for me and for everyone else.

Do tell good Sir.
Oct 27, 2012 @ 20:05:41
heh, Brian, I would like to know what works for anyone. I’ve also heard that wheatgrass will help. Tell me about your solution, would you ?

It was a great post that is helping me to bring back myself to the situation I was a couple of months ago. I’m 29 and have many in my leg. Although a couple of months ago I could have surgery for a so cost, but I didn’t as I believed that I could get rid of that naturally. I’m so interested to figure out the way through which I could gain my target and cause the lipomas shrink. it would be fabulous. I would be unbelievably glad if you make me updated as this regard and even, as i’m concerned about the natural way of doing that, i will appreciate if we could cooperate.

I have like 12 in my left arm (most are tiny- 2 are about 1 centimeter) and 5 in my right arm (all are pretty small- between 1-3mm, one is maybe 4-6mm)
I’ve found one on my chest, a couple on my sides, and a few on my legs- all are 1cm or smaller.
I’m sure I have more that are not discovered yet, but it’s driving me nuts. I’m only 28. What will it be like when I’m 58?
Hopefully medical treatment will advance in this area by then…

I have had fatty lipomas since my early 20s. I was a very very slender young lady then.
The lipomas first appeared in my fore-arms.
When I reached my late 20s, sill very slender, lipomas developed in my things.
I had some lipomas removed from my arms, but didn’t have the thighs done, I wanted to see how well I would heal before trying that. (I also develop keloid scarring sometimes).
The surgery was great relief. Done by a cosmetic surgeon, the scars were just tiny thin white lines, no raising of the tissue, just a discoloring.
Eventually the lumps in my arms have grown back. : (
The lumps in my thighs are painful if pressed upon.
I haven’t had health insurance for 7 years, so have not had opportunity to seek treatment, and in these days in the US, an insurance company might easily find excuse not to cover the removal.
Now I am 52 years old, and the lumps in my fore-arms and thighs are getting bigger, and there are more of them.
New lumps have just recently appeared – on my knees.
This is so depressing. The lumps hurt and I’m worried that I’ll get more and more of them.
Appearances are another issue. Who wants to have lumps sticking out on their body?
This seems to be familial, my older brother has same problem.
Because of circumstances, in the past year or so, I had not been eating healthy foods, and couldn’t afford niceties like organic milk.
Today I am
throwing out the regular milk (and the hormones it is laden with),
throwing out the soy milk (I used to treat hot flashes). And
I’m throwing out the artificial sweetner.
I’m going to start taking:
vitamin e (for the hot flashes)
bromain – natural supplement that aids in digestion
apple cider vinegar – (can’t hurt, my mother took it for years for arthritis, but it is also known for aiding digestion)
I’m looking into taking tumeric.
Some people suffering with fatty lipomas are experimenting with apricot seeds, and say it has reduced the size and pain in their lipomas, but they aren’t certain of the results yet.
I’m not sure about apricot seeds, some research says they are dangerous.
There are lots of suppliments advertised as curing lipomas, but they are scams.
Wish me luck, I’ll try to check back.
Maybe we’ll one day have health coverage in the US and I can get these removed.
I work full time but do not have insurance, and can’t afford the surgery.
If you can afford it, I do recommend surgery, but also recommend you try to research food and suppliments, to see if you can prevent new lipomas.
If you seek surgery, try to get a cosmetic surgeon, then scarring will be minimal.
If only someone would do research and find a cure or treatment.

I’m 26 and have lipomas just like my mom, aunts/uncles, and grandmother. My grandmother was told to eat grape seeds by a witchdoctor in Mexico. I’ve never tried it, but she said that most people would spit out the grape seeds when in fact these are beneficial. I read here that apricot seeds helped…. Maybe grape seeds can help too… has anyone heard this before?

The research is done in multiple parallel locations, h-factor being one of the studied substances. I’m sure that the answer is close since many have had good results without surgery of any kind.

Excellent post. My first Lipoma’s occurred as the result of injuries sustained in sports however I have noticed a corollary between certain types of food additives and supplements that seems to cause Lipoma’s to occur in clusters around certain times. I have found if I am ingesting artificial sweeteners daily I am more like to develop lipoma’s as a result of injury. I have also found that taking vanadyl-sulfate supplements seems to make the grow. Lucky however cessation of supplementation with VS seems to return the Lipoma’s to normal size.
Has anyone else any experiences of this sort?

I am a 46 year old with lipomas too numerous to count. I first noticed them at the age of 19 in my forearms. After two surgeries to remove them I gave up. I have them all over and some are painful, some are annoying, and all of them are embarrassing. I hope my beautiful daughters arent afflicted but they probably will be.

Jason, saw a piece on multiple lipomas on TV (mystery Diagnosis) and there is a female endocrinologist in San Diego who specializes in tests, and possible solutions, and is very renown regarding lipomas.
Apr 17, 2013 @ 20:54:34
Thanks Dave. Do you know who the female endocrinologist is? Website?

I have some in my right arm that are numerous and pea size and they are extremely painful I cannot lay on my arm at night and or lift my arm only after a chiropractic treatment . The chiropractor I go to is a wellness dr and knows nothing about this except they are harmless. My physician doesnt know about them eigther.
My arms are extremely weak. A heating pad moist helps the pain somewhat twice a day(suggestion of chiropractor) does help for not long though according to what I have found it is the type that is rare Adeposis Dolorosa. If anyone knows anything of this type above Google it came up with nada,,, nothing…. this is discouraging:(
God bless and let me know.
God bless

I’m 22 I had a large lipoma on my right lateral thigh removed when I was 16, I’m now 23 and two years ago discovered another on the back of my neck, I don’t know any close relatives who have had them so gets me too wondering why I do??? Also as the lump is starting to cause some neck & back pain I’m ready to get rid of if, but will this cause more to reaccur?
Jul 09, 2012 @ 16:19:23

I have many all over my body. I’ve had numerous ones removed from
my arms, back and legs. Right now I have some growing in my inner
arms so when I type or play on the computer it pushes on them and
hurts. I had one removed from my left forearm which was wrapping
itself around above my wrist. Now it’s the right arm and the left
is growing back and extending up to my elbow. I have some pretty
huge ones in my abdomen and it looks like I’m just fat…Nah! The
one behind the bend in my knee they don’t want to remove for fear they
might damage the tendons in my leg. Anything that may help as I’m
tired of getting cut open?
May 23, 2012 @ 12:59:01
Good one. I’ve many of such kind in both of my thighs, hands/forearms, abdomen, sides, back and many more are building up. I’ve got two of them removed – one from forearm and another from abdomen but the later one recurred again. Just hope had a cure for this…it’s irritating and let you feel them all the time all over your body.

I have literally dozens of small, hard, round lumps all over the left side of my neck from top to bottom ranging in size from about 1cm to a few millimetres. I have had them for years, but they seem to have gotten more painful recently.
The strange thing is that only one or two and visible externally.
Does this sound like lipoma?
Jul 04, 2012 @ 11:41:59
Sorry I meant the right side of the neck.

I also have numerous (dozens) lipomas, but am just happy to leave them alone as recommended by many Doctors. I can always wear longer sleeved shirts to keep them under wraps. My father and grandmother both had lipomas thus the hereditary factor. I lead a healthy lifestyle, sleep well, eat a lot of fresh food and take no medication. My gorgeous grandmother lived to be 98 years of age .. so I’m pretty happy with her life span. I say lets get on with living and forget about the lipomas.

Something great happened last month or so… After alot of research i found a way that may help get rid of them. I take a tablespoon of tumeric ans cinimmon everyday and i drink alot of green tea. I take 4 to 5 bags of green tea in my cup 2 to 3 times a day amd stay away from sugar. Sugar seems to feed them. I also work oit alot and get my body real hot. The one on my shoulder is now 75 percent gone and no longer hurt. The one in my lower back had shrank down a little and its a much older tumour i dont know if that has to do with anything. Also i took chickweed to help flush my liver out. I find green tea the most effective. I am not claiming that thos will cure everyone i am telling my personal experiance with this and hopefully it will help sombody.

Until you see your doctor and have them biopsied, you don’t know for sure that it’s a lipoma. The negative side is that cancer could always be associated with any growth. So see a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist before you assume anything, then the biopsy will tell the story. My lipomas were and are bilateral – meaning if I get one on my right upper arm area, I will get one in the exact place on the left arm. Or leg bilaterally, or even bilateral abdominal muscles Anybody have this phenomenoa ? Any sucessful treatments ?
Mar 25, 2013 @ 21:15:31
I have one on my right shoulder and one on my lower back. They say its inhereted but how can that be when I am the only one in my family that has them. I got one in my lower back when i was 19 and just got one recently im a 33 year old male that works out alot and isnt fat. It makes me mad when peope dont understsnd how painfull they are. Some people think its an infection that needs to be drained I keep explaining to them what a Lipoma is. Futhermore it makes me more angry when people say you better go to the doctor. As if i got nothing better to do but to lay around and suffer with them. Like most americans I have no health insurance. I dont even know if health insurance will cover them. However I plan on having sugery soon on them. Right now i stop eating sugar and junk it seems to feed those things. It feels like I have 2 parisites living on my body.
