What Are Multiple Lipomas?
A lipoma is a non-aggressive, fatty mass, that the growth is between the skin and the muscle layer under the skin. Some individuals may have multiple lipomas, referred to as familial multiple lipomatosis, an inherited condition, in which there is a gene for multiple lipomas. Such lumps can be of different sizes – from the size of a pea to a few centimeters – and can be located on the arms, back, thighs, or any other body parts.

Several factors contribute to the condition even though the exact cause is still not known:
- Genes – The role of family history cannot be overlooked.
- Metabolic conditions – The risk is raised by a few disorders.
- Age & Gender – It is the most frequent cause in adults from 30 to 60 years of age and men are slightly more affected.
- Lifestyle – The disease is not attributable to diet or exercise, however, a healthy body weight is good for the skin.
