But, non-alcoholics and females can also be affected.Treatmento Usually, treatment of a lipoma is not necessary, unless the tumor becomes painful or restricts movement. They are usually removed for cosmetic reasons, if they grow very large, or for histopathology to check that they are not a more dangerous type of tumor such as a liposarcoma..o Lipomas are normally removed by simple excision. This cures the great majority of cases, with about 1-2% of lipomas recurring after excision.o Liposuction is another option if the lipoma is soft and has a small connective tissuecomponent.
