Abstract

Lipomas are benign tumors of the lipogenic lineage, and include several varieties, the principal beeing conventional lipoma, subcutaneous angiolipoma, subcutaneous spindle cell lipoma and subcutaneous pleomorphic lipoma, benign lipoblastoma and lipoblastomatosis, intranervous fibrolipoma, diffused lipomatosis, and hibernoma.
