lipoma in 7 month old baby
by jaylynn1983, Jan 12, 2009 05:51AM
I have a 7 month old baby boy who just recently i've noticed that he has a lump under the skin that i can move around with my finger but it stays in the same spot. I have read on some websites that it's possible a "lipoma" which are considered a benign tumor. Please if anyone could give some feedback on a "lipoma" do i need to get it looked at? is it serious? I haven't taken him to get it looked at cause of finances but at this point im willing to do what it takes to rule out anything bad. Thank you for any help, feedback.
P.S. A couple days ago he rolled over onto some of his brothers cars and traintracks and hurt that part of his head.. could this of caused it?
thank you

Thanks for your post.
Skull lipomas are known to occur in babies. Premature babies have a greater chance of developing skull lipomas since their skull bones are immature and brain is not completely developed. Please remember skull lipomas are benign tumors and do not spread to other parts of the body.
However nothing can be said for sure without clinical exam and tests. Please follow up with your baby’s neurologist and let us know if you need any other information. Take care!
