Description
Lipoma excision removes benign fatty tumors causing discomfort or cosmetic concern, with typical costs ranging from ¥500 to ¥1,000 in China; ChinaMedicalHub helps coordinate hospital appointments and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Primary clinical uses include definitive treatment of symptomatic lipomas (e.g., pain, tenderness, rapid growth, cosmetic concern, or functional impairment); histopathological confirmation to rule out malignancy (e.g., liposarcoma); prevention of recurrence when completely excised; and management of atypical or deep-seated lipomas requiring imaging-guided or surgical intervention.
Normal Range
Lipoma excision is a surgical procedure, not a laboratory test; therefore, it has no numerical 'normal range' or quantitative reference values. It involves the complete removal of a benign adipose tissue tumor (lipoma) and is assessed clinically based on complete excision, histopathological confirmation of benignity, absence of recurrence, and wound healing parameters.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Not applicable — lipoma excision is a surgical intervention, not a measurable biomarker or lab parameter. There are no 'low values' associated with the procedure itself. Clinical concerns relate to incomplete excision (not 'low value'), which may lead to recurrence.
High Values - Possible Causes
Not applicable — as a surgical procedure, lipoma excision does not produce 'high values'. However, postoperative complications such as elevated inflammatory markers (e.g., CRP, WBC), increased pain scores, or higher recurrence rates may occur due to factors like incomplete resection, infection, or multiple/large lipomas.
