title: [Lipoma, multiple lipomas and lipomatosis].
abstract: Lipomatous tumors are very frequent; simple lipoma is the most common variety. According to Enzinger, lipomatous tumors are classified into five different groups: simple lipomas, variant lipomas forms, heterotopic lipomas, infiltrating lipomas and lipomatosis, and finally hibernomas. Usually, lipomatous tumors are characterized by a slow, unpainful, growth. Classical treatment includes surgical resection. The clinical diagnosis is confirmed by histology. Liposucion can be a therapeutic option in certain cases.
