Lipoma
Lipoma and neurofibroma are both types of benign tumors that can develop in various parts of the body.
A lipoma is a slow-growing fatty tumor that is usually painless, while a neurofibroma is a tumor that grows on nerves and can cause pain or other neurological symptoms.
Treatment for both conditions typically involves surgical removal of the tumor, which is often a simple procedure done on an outpatient basis. In some cases, the tumors may not require treatment at all, especially if they are small and not causing any symptoms. Risk of cancer developing in them is low but if there are warning signs like sudden increase in size, change of texture of overlying skin, change in the consistency of the swelling and development of pain in the swelling; one should immediately consult his plastic surgeon for deciding further course of treatment.
