Lipoma and liposarcoma Diagnosis of lipoma is usually made clinically by finding a soft lump under the skin. However, if there is any doubt, a deep skin biopsy can be performed which will show typical histopathological features of lipoma and its variants. The rare fatty cancer, liposarcoma, almost never arises in the skin. Liposarcoma is a deep seated tumour, and most often grows on thigh, groin or at the back of the abdomen. If your lipoma is enlarging or becomes painful, check with your doctor. A skin biopsy may be required to exclude liposarcoma.
