Treatment
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. You may want to leave the lump alone. Although if it is growing rapidly, the lump should be biopsied. Treatment options include:
Surgical Excision
In most cases, this can be done in your doctor's office or as outpatient surgery. This is minor surgery unles the lipoma is deep inside the body.
Liposuction
Liposuction is commonly used to remove large amounts of fat from under the skin. But, the procedure can also be done to remove single fatty tumors.
