Lipoma
Lipoma is a benign tumor originating from adipose tissue. There is a thin layer of connective tissue capsule around the tumor, which contains normal fat cells divided into leaf-shaped groups by connective tissue bundles. Some lipomas contain more connective tissue or blood vessels in addition to a large amount of adipose tissue, forming a complex lipoma. It can occur in adipose tissue in any part of the body, but rarely becomes malignant. Clinically, it often occurs under the skin of the shoulders, back and buttocks. When the volume is large, surgical treatment is required. It is relatively common, and is more common in middle-aged people (50-60 years old).
