Lipomas can be attached to glands, organs, and more.
Here are some more interesting things I learned about Lipomas today:
- They have been medically documented being located on the heart, esophagus, brain, adrenal gland, kidney, liver, stomach, intestines, and other tissues including muscle, nerves, and more. (kind of freaky/scary)
- They can obstruct organs (such as esophagus) making it harder for the organ to function properly. They can also bleed, rupture, and more.
I found that interesting. So basically I am thinking if I have a few of these things on the outside of my body where I can see them and feel them, I am bound to have at least one on the inside as well.
It just makes me wonder: Could there be some kind of non-cancerous (SMALL) tumor on the inside of our bodies that could be pressing against some gland or organ, or connected to it making something out of whack in our bodies. Maybe it produces too much of a certain chemical (histamine, etc.). Or maybe it produces too many mast cells. Or maybe it doesn’t produce enough of something? Who knows? But it is worth thinking about at least. Especially since I got CU a few months after I had my first angiolipoma removed. What if others were growing inside of my body and started to mess something up?
Lipomas and Cholinergic Urticaria?
I was thinking about it, and it does sound possible. Here is why:
- Cholinergic comes our of nowhere. Tumors can also come out of nowhere and develop suddenly. I know the ones on my body just appeared over time.
- Cholinergic urticaria can go into remission. Tumors can also shrink in size, and go into remission.
- Cholinergic urticaria doesn’t seem to be life threatening or cancerous. A benign tumor (non-cancerous) can also be non-life threatening. You can life with a non-cancerous tumor your whole life as long as it doesn’t interfere with anything major. Some people have had small cysts or tumors their whole life, and lived to be very old. So neither would kill us immediately.
- It does make sense that a gland or organ could be affected by something like this. People that are really tall sometimes have a small tumor on their pituitary gland, and that is responsible for their extreme growth. People can also exhibit other strange symptoms depending on which gland or organ is being affected.
So this is all interesting and makes me wonder if there is a possibility that at least some cases of Cholinergic Urticaria could be due to some unknown tumor or growth (non-cancerous) pressing up against a gland, organ, or something like that.
