Lipomas are noncancerous growths of fat cells that can occur anywhere on the body. While they can grow in size, they usually do not stop growing completely.
Lipomas tend to grow slowly over time, and some may remain stable for years.
However, they can continue to enlarge, and some may even shrink or disappear spontaneously.
The growth rate and size of a lipoma vary depending on the individual and the location of the growth.
If a lipoma is causing pain, discomfort, or cosmetic concerns, it may be surgically removed.
However, if a lipoma is not causing any problems, it can usually be left alone.
It's important to consult a doctor if you notice any changes in a lipoma, such as rapid growth, pain, or tenderness.
