Lipoma is a common superficial benign tumor. When lipoma grows on the temple, it only needs to be observed when there is no symptom, and if it affects the appearance and grows rapidly, it can be treated by surgical excision.
1. Observation treatment: for the lipoma that grows in the place with small volume and does not affect the patient’s appearance, without relevant clinical manifestations, surgical excision can be avoided for the time being, and regular follow-up examination can be performed.
2. Surgical excision treatment: if the following situations occur, surgical excision treatment should be carried out according to the doctor’s instruction: the patient’s lipoma is large in size, which affects the patient’s appearance; there are clinical manifestations such as pain and swelling; the volume of the lipoma increases rapidly in a short period of time, and there is a suspicion of malignant transformation.
For patients with lipomas on temples, they should go to the relevant departments of regular hospitals in time and be treated under the guidance of professional physicians. Pathologic examination should be carried out routinely after surgery to screen for malignant lesions, so as to avoid delaying the condition and leading to adverse consequences.
