I just got diagnosed with a lipoma on my lower back. My big concern is that is liposcarma.

Thank you for sharing your question.  The chances of the lipoma being a lipo sarcoma are exceedingly rare, with approximately 2 new cases per year per million people.  I would have the mass removed and biopsied perform for piece of mind.  Hope this helps.

Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that occur under the skin and less commonly within the muscle. They are associated with mild discomfort and a lump underneath the skin. It is always best to talk to an expert plastic surgeon to determine whether the lipoma is possibly a cyst or a tumor or hernia. We would have to remove the lipoma to be sure that it is not something else and we usually do this by sending it to a pathologist for evaluation. If a lipoma is painful, then an exam is needed to make sure it is not compressing on a nerve or whether the diagnosis is different. Aftercare for a lipoma includes gentle compression and Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily on the wound.

lipomas are e trembly common while sarcoma is rare.  It is most likely to be a lipoma but you should have it removed to be sure.  Easy to have done under local anesthesia.

You should get and follow the advice of a suitably qualified and experienced surgeon who deals with lipomas and the diagnosis of abnormal lumps. (You would not normally see a specialist in sarcoma unless you had been diagnosed with a sarcoma.)Lipomas are extremely common. Some people have lots even hundreds lying in the fat under the skin. If a confident diagnosis of lipoma can be made there is usually not a medical need to remove a lipoma unless they are growing, large, painful or causing other symptoms. Liposarcomas are rare. They can and should usually be diagnosed with scans and  a biopsy before surgery.

How big is the lipoma? As previously mentioned, liposarcoma are very rare. Some lipomata can be located within muscle layers which can give it an atypical appearance when examined. If there are any concerning features, an MRI may be helpful.
