Excision Lipoma Flank (Fibrolipoma)
In this video a large Lipoma was removed from flank/back. Procedure was done under local anesthesia and patient tolerated the procedure very well and walked out within 10 mins after the procedure. There was minimal bleeding. Lipomas are tumors of adipose tissue, often located in the subcutaneous tissues of the head, neck, shoulders, and back.These are slow-growing, nearly always benign, tumors and present as nonpainful, mobile masses with a characteristic soft, doughy feel. Rarely, lipomas can be associated with syndromes such as: hereditary multiple lipomatosis, adiposis dolorosa, Gardner's syndrome, Madelung's disease. Most lipomas are best left alone, but rapidly growing or painful lipomas are treated with a variety of procedures ranging from steroid injections to excision of the tumor.
