How to judge whether lipoma is benign or malignant

First: Generally speaking, lipoma is benign lipoma, but if long-term daily life disorder, irregular work and rest time, benign tumor is also very easy to change into malignant. First of all, look at the growth rate of the tumor. The growth rate of the benign tumor is relatively slow. If the growth of the tumor accelerates, especially in a short period of time, it is twice as big as before, then it is likely to be the manifestation of malignant transformation. This change is mainly relative to the previous growth rate, and there is no absolute value.

Second: whether there is ulceration on the surface of the tumor. If the tumor ulcers, it is likely to be a malignant tumor, except for local infection. Lipoma often occurs in the back, shoulder, neck, buttocks, thighs, with different sizes. Some lipomas stop growing when they grow to a certain extent. Generally speaking, they grow slowly without conscious symptoms.

Third: we can judge by the shape and rules of the tumor. If the edge of the tumor is clear and the shape is regular, then most of the tumors are benign. On the contrary, if the shape is irregular, the edge is not clear, and the surface is uneven, generally speaking, it belongs to malignant tumor. Fibroma can push, feel smooth and complete; Cancer mass is adhered to the skin, the surface is not smooth.
