10 Causes of Lipoma
Cause #6: Gardner Syndrome
Tumors are abnormal growths of tissue that can occur inside or outside the body. They are often harmless and painless, causing few problems other than looking out of place. Some can be dangerous, though, so they should never be taken lightly. Gardner syndrome is a condition where an unusual number of tumors appear on the body.
The tumors associated with Gardner syndrome can include lipomas, as well as epidermoid cysts, fibromas, osteomas of the skull and thyroid cancer. If you are finding unusual growths on the skin or anywhere else on the body, you should get them checked out to be sure.
