Accumulation of bumps of fat in the skin and tendons

Accumulation of bumps of fat in the skin and tendons is a symptom of lipomas, which are benign tumors of fat cells. They typically appear as small, soft bumps beneath the skin, and can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. They may be single or multiple, and often develop slowly over time. Lipomas are usually painless, but can become painful if they grow larger and press on nerves or other tissues. Symptoms may include a feeling of fullness or heaviness, aching, or tingling in the area of the lipoma.
