Just to add, there are certain multiple tumour syndromes that have an increased risk of lipomas as well as malignant tumours, e.g. MEN1, Cowden's.

You are far more likely to have a benign condition than a genetic multi-tumour syndrome which risks malignancy.
That being said, if you have any other risk factors, e.g. family history or personal history of other tumours, you may need to see a genetic service who can screen for the relevant mutations.
