Lipomas are rarely life-threatening, and the common subcutaneous lipomas are not a serious condition. Lipomas growing in internal organs can be more dangerous; for example, lipomas in the gastrointestinal tract can cause bleeding, ulceration, and painful obstructions (so-called "malignant by location", despite being a benign growth histologically).
The lipomas are well-encapsulated, slow-growing, benign fatty tumors. The distribution is defined as being focused in the trunk of the body and extremities. [2] Familial Multiple Lipomatosis can be identified when multiple lipomas occur in multiple family members that span different generations. [2] Some people may have hundreds of lipomas ...

Traumatic injury of adipose tissue liberates stored fat [1] [3] as well as lipases [1] from adipocytes.The extracellular fat then elicits a swift inflammatory response, attracting macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes which proceed to phagocytose the freed fat.
