Is Lipomatosis curable?
Since lipomas are benign fatty tumors, they are typically harmless and do not require treatment. If a lipoma is bothering you for medical or cosmetic reasons, your doctor can surgically remove it.
How do you prevent Lipomatosis?
Lipomas (and many of the conditions that cause lipomas) are inherited. Since they're passed down through families, it isn't possible to prevent them. You can lower your risk of developing Madelung's disease (a condition that causes lipomas to grow) by limiting the amount of alcohol you drink.
