Липома представляет собой новообразование benign character that occurs in the connective tissue of the subcutaneous tissue. But there are cases when it reaches the muscles and blood vessels. Lipoma, the causes of its occurrence are poorly studied, so it is extremely difficult to isolate specific sources that provoke the formation of a tumor.
The locations of its localization are different:any part of the body can be affected by this ailment. Often, adipose tissue is involved in the formation of lipomas, which is why they are commonly called wen. Women at risk from 30 to 50 years old can be included in the risk group. Such a formation practically does not pose a threat to life or health, so removal may be necessary from the point of view of discomfort, in terms of aesthetic appearance. The separation of a part of the fat layer in a certain capsule can be called a “lipoma”, the reasons for the formation of which lie in the obstruction of the sebaceous ducts.
This neoplasm occurs as in the formsingle tumor, and in the form of multiple manifestations. If there are several lipomas, then lipomatosis is diagnosed, which is characterized by excessive accumulation of fat cells in the tissues of the skin. Moreover, the weight and build of a person do not play any role. Even with general thinness, there may be an increase in Wen.
Lipoma: causes
There is still a lot of controversy and opinion.on this topic. While experts could not come to a common opinion. If we talk about the classification of the sources of such a pathology as a lipoma, the reasons are divided into three general groups. The first version says that wen arises in connection with problems in the endocrine system - violation of metabolic processes and hormonal background leads to such consequences. According to the second theory, the causes of lipoma lie in human genetics, possibly hereditary predisposition. The third group includes such factors as adverse environmental conditions, constant stress and depression, as well as disruption of the digestive and nervous system. Blockage of the sebaceous ducts can lead to such a diagnosis as a lipoma. From the point of view of traditional medicine, the causes of this disease also lie in a large number of slags that are not removed and are toxic.
Lipoma: symptoms
New growth of this nature does not affecton the state of health of a person, therefore, it can only be detected by external examination. On palpation, the patient does not feel pain, and the tumor has a soft and elastic structure. A characteristic is the contour around this formation, as it has clear edges.
In diamerte, the usual lipoma reaches ten.centimeters. However, there are cases when its size is comparable to the head of a newborn child, then it is accepted to talk about a giant tumor. When diagnosing should pay attention to the localization of the lipoma. As a rule, its formation occurs in the area of accumulated adipose tissue.
Although the lipoma is notno danger to human life and health, it is necessary to monitor the process of its growth. A huge tumor begins to sag under the weight of its own weight, the skin gradually stretches, and the so-called leg forms, on which the lipoma rests. The appearance of the leg indicates the rupture of blood vessels and impaired blood flow, in connection with which cell dying and the formation of pus.
If you do not pay due attention to thissituation, then transformation into liposarcoma can occur (the tumor is tighter, but already malignant). It is possible to get rid of a lipoma only by removing it surgically.
