BACKGROUND Lipomas are very common benign neoplasms, which constitute 99% of all adipose-derived tumors. [] Key MethodMETHODS A total of 17 lipomas were treated. The procedure involved a high-frequency ultrasound-guided injection. A maximum of 3 injections per a lipoma were performed. High-frequency ultrasound was used for assessing the size of lipomas and monitoring treatment-induced changes to the lipomas and adjacent tissue. RESULTS Response to treatment was achieved in all cases.

Lipolysis of a painful lipoma with ozone: the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and quantification of the treatment
TLDR
Ozone-oxygen therapy can be an effective treatment for lipodystrophies through splitting fatty acids by reducing the chains and making them hydrophilic, the removal of interstitial edema due to cellulite or poor circulation, and also through providing more oxygen which improves local metabolism and venous/lymphatic circulation.

TLDR
Injections with Lipostabil, a phosphatidylcholine containing substance, have become a popular technique to treat localized fat accumulation and lipomas for aesthetic reasons and the histological changes of lipomas after treatment with PDC are investigated.

TLDR
Although surgery is the gold standard for lipoma therapy, injection lipolysis with PDC can also significantly reduce lipoma size, and complete elimination was not observed in any lipoma.

TLDR
Results demonstrate that this CE-marked agent appears to be effective and safe for medical treatment of fat reduction, and for patients who desire touchups for liposuction-induced irregularities.
