Lipomas do tend to run in families, so genetic factors can play a role in their development. Some genetic conditions can cause a person to have one or more lipomas, including: Gardner syndrome, a condition that causes benign tumors to form Adiposis dolorosa, a condition marked by the growth of lipomas Familial multiple lipomatosis, a hereditary condition that causes multiple lipomas to form Madelung disease, a rare condition marked by lipomas forming around the upper body Cowden syndrome, which is characterized by benign tumors, skin tags, and large head size Lipomas need no treatment unless they are associated with other symptoms.
