Definition:
An angiofibroma, also known as a lipoma, is a type of benign tumor that grows from skin cells called adipose tissue, which is found in fat-filled pockets under the skin. The tumors usually appear on one side of the face or on the neck but can spread to other parts of the body.
Angiofibromas are common and may be caused by various factors such as aging, genetics, obesity, and certain medications.
They cause discomfort due to their size, shape, and texture which makes them difficult to distinguish from other skin conditions.
