slide 2 of 4. Causes of Lipomas One common cause of lipomas is genetic. A patient may have several close relatives with histories of fatty tumors. Also, minor injuries may cause lipomas to develop, so it is important to monitor your body when you experience an injury.
A lipoma is a mass or lump that is composed of adipocytes or fat cells. Lipoma is a very common, noncancerous tumor that grows slowly. Oftentimes, they build up beneath our skin, specifically in the subcutaneous layer. This is the layer that is found between the skin and the muscle layer. Lipomas can advance in size and numerous growths can occur.
