What does LIPOMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A soft, harmless lump made of fatty tissue, growing just under the skin.
A lipoma moves easily under the fingers and is usually painless, which is why many people live with one for years. It is not cancer and rarely turns into it. Doctors remove one only if it grows large, becomes sore, or bothers the patient for cosmetic reasons. The word joins the Greek lipos, meaning fat, to the common ending -oma used for growths.
