How Fast Can a Lipoma Grow?

Lipomas are generally slow-growing.  They are often removed if they become tender, or cosmetically bothersome to a patient.  With a history of melanoma, I recommend following up regularly with a board-certified dermatologist.  Any new growth, should be assessed carefully with your history.

Lipomas grow very slowly. If one feels the lipomas is growing then it is time to remove it.With your history, recommend removing any lump, mass anywhere.
