Overweight female dogs are especially prone to developing these tumors, and most older or overweight dogs have at least one lipoma. [ 46 ] [ 47 ] In dogs, lipomas usually occur in the trunk or upper limbs. [ 45 ]
In 1993, a genetic polymorphism within lipomas was localized to chromosome 12q15, where the HMGIC gene encodes the high-mobility-group protein isoform I-C. [2] This is one of the most commonly found mutations in solitary lipomatous tumors but lipomas often have multiple mutations. Reciprocal translocations involving chromosomes 12q13 and 12q14 ...
The tentatively classified cellular angiofibroma variant of MFB typically occurs in adults (women 40–50 years old, men 60–70 years old with rare cases in children), is usually a small tumor but can be as large as 25 cm, [16] and frequently develops in the groin-scrotum or vulva-vaginal regions.

Although present in both men and women, the mons pubis tends to be larger in women. [1] [6] Its fatty tissue is sensitive to estrogen, causing a distinct mound to form with the onset of female puberty. [4] [6] [7] [8] This pushes the forward portion of the labia majora out and away from the pubic bone. The mound also becomes covered with pubic ...
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 ...
Dercum's disease is a rare condition characterized by multiple painful fatty tumors, called lipomas, that can grow anywhere in subcutaneous fat across the body. [1] Sometimes referred as adiposis dolorosa in medical literature, Dercum’s disease is more of a syndrome than a disease (because it has several clinically recognizable features, signs, and symptoms that are characteristic of it and ...
Chondroid lipoma is an uncommon soft tissue fatty tumor that can develop in deeper or superficial tissues. It often manifests as a painless mass. [3] The subcutis, superficial muscular fascia, or skeletal muscles of the limbs and limb girdles, trunk, head, and neck are where the majority of lesions are located. [4]
