They appear smooth and soft and dislocate from their original position when little pressure is applied by the finger. They are benign in nature and do not invade surrounding tissues. They grow slowly and do not have any sign of invasion. They can grow anywhere on the body but they are mostly formed on the neck region, chest, back, and shoulders. They can also form inside the body and you even do not know where are they growing. They are soft and rubbery in texture but some lipomas are hard and tender which may also be painful.
