Overview
Lipoma may be caused by either gene, or injury.
Causes
- Heredity
- The tendency to develop a lipoma is not necessarily hereditary although hereditary conditions, such as familial multiple lipomatosis, may include lipoma development.[1][2] Genetic studies in mice have shown a correlation between the HMG I-C gene (previously identified as a gene related to obesity) and lipoma development.
- Trauma
- Cases have been reported where minor injuries are alleged to have triggered the growth of a lipoma, called "post-traumatic lipomas"[3]. However, the link between trauma and the development of lipomas is controversial.[4]
