Why do I have so many lipoid bumps in my body? Does that have anything to do with Fibromyalgia or Lupus?

When you speak about "lipoid bumps" in your body, I am assuming you are referring to lipomas. Lipomas are among the most frequent, benign neoplasms of the skin. Lipomas are collections of mature fat cells, enclosed by thin fibrous capsules, and they can occur on any part of the body where fat cells coalesce. They are usually found superficially just under the skin, but can more rarely involve fascia or deeper muscular planes. The etiology of lipoma development is not well understood. However, there is NO association between fibromyalgia or lupus and the development of lipomas. Frequently, patients may have more than one lipoma, and occasionally they may have a genetic condition resulting in multiple lipomas (familial multiple lipomatosis). Malignant transformation of a lipoma into a liposarcoma is rare. Distinguishing a lipoma from more serious conditions, such as lymphoma, is usually made clinically, based on the fact that lipomas are soft, asymptomatic and usually do not enlarge quickly. If a suspected lipoma causes symptoms (pain or restriction of movement), is rapidly enlarging, or is firm rather than soft, you should have it evaluated by your doctor. The treatment of a lipoma, if needed because of pain, cosmesis, or concerns over diagnosis, is surgical removal of the fat cells and fibrous capsule. Recurrence of an excised lipoma is not common.
