Two Lipomas side by side

Does any vet have experience with lipomas being right next to each other or side by side? My 6.5 year old mixed breed dog Charlie has what feels like a lipoma (squishy, half circle, moveable) but there are two of them right next to each other.

Hello!  We are familiar with the idea when we put fat on, it isn't always distributed evenly - some places gain fat more than others.  It's interesting about lipomas that under a microscope they are often indistinguishable from normal fat, which is for some reason laid down as a lump rather than in thin layers.  When two such lumps are next to one another, it is hard to say (even on the operating table with the skin lifted) where such a lump begins and ends, because the 'lump' is continuous with the normal fat tissue.  Often, for example, the lumpy accumulation of fat is laid down on either side of a strongly stuck-down area or strap of connective tissue, giving the appearance of two separate lumps. Obviously I can't tell you what is going on in your dog; sometimes what feels like a lipoma is not a lipoma at all. Therefore we would always advise you to have such lumps checked out by a vet, who depending on the circumstances and the patient may advise that a biopsy (taking appropriate quantities of cells and examining them in detail) takes place.
