Lipoma on the scalp excised

Initially, I thought this might be a pilar cyst, but once I began the excision, it was obvious there was only fat (adipose cells) in the area. I suspect this is a traumatic lipoma because it was not well encapsulated. I have sent the tissue for pathology, and it has been confirmed that this was […]

Removing a probable “traumatic lipoma” on the forehead

This patient is the same person who had the brown bumps, aka dermatosis papulosa nigra, on her cheeks and neck, removed with laser treatment with the Iriderm laser.
