Lipomas
Lipomas are composed of fatty tissue and are soft in touch. They are mobile and indolent, unless they grow large and slightly oppress the nerves. They grow slowly and up to several cm in diameter. Lipomas occur in humans after 30 year of age and occasionally in children. They usually emerge on the neck, torso, arms and legs. The only way to remove them is to perform a surgical procedure – no ointments, compresses or massages are helpful here. Once removed, they may grow again.
Fibromas
They occur as single, skin-color tumors on abdomen integument or in large bends (armpits, groins). Most frequently, they occur in humans at medium and older age, usually in women at the neck and armpits. Their size ranges between 2 mm and 1 cm, they are skin-color or tan and cause no ailments.
Fibromas may be removed using carbon dioxide laser or by surgical procedure with the use of regional anesthesia.
Cystosteatomas (epidermoid cyst, sebaceous cyst)
These are slowly growing benign tumors of cystic type, filled with keratinous or sebaceous mass (sebum) with elements of hair follicles. There are two different types of cysts, with cellular structure being the main difference.
The cysts are round in shape, mobile against its bed and indolent tumor of semi-solid structure. They frequently grow and become white or yellow, however no ailments occur.
In case of miliums the procedure consists in injection of lesion and picking it. Larger cysts are emptied surgically after their incision or removed in total, which prevents recurrences.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually made on the basis of a specific clinical image during medical consultation.
Post-treatment proceeding
The lesions are removed surgically with the use of regional anesthesia. Then sterile strips or stitches and compression dressing are applied on the wound. After 7–10 days the material used to close wound is removed.
