Best Answer

You should be able to find photographs of Lipomas on the internet.

They are soft tissue cysts, often called 'fatty cysts' and they are not cancerous. They can be surgically removed but your body may grow more of them.

Can lipomis be cancer?

Lipomas aren't cancerous and current research suggests that lipomas don't become cancerous either. A lipoma is a harmless tumor composed of adipose tissue. It is the most common form of a soft tissue tumor. Lipomas are soft when touching it, usually movable, and are most of the times painless. Many lipomas are small (under one centimeter diameter) but can enlarge to sizes greater than six centimeters. Lipomas are commonly found in adults from 40 to 60 years of age, but can also be found in children.
