It can occur  everywhere on the body, although the majority of cases occur in the head, neck, shoulder, and back region. Those  are very uncommon in the hand, especially in the forearm and fingers. Most lipomas are not painful and does not  harm to people. However, it disfigures the body part. Hence, the patient wants to remove it. It is a case of 38-year-old  woman presented with a lipoma of the forearm. The patient complained of no pain but she felt some difficulty during  manual movement. Here, the treatment of choice is Chhedana karma (surgical excision of lipoma). As it is atypical,  so awareness is imperative since the differential diagnosis from other soft-tissue tumors and from common lipoma  classification involved is quite extensive.
