A fatty tumor is mobile, althoughit may be attached to the skin at points by trabeculae. Sometimes a fattytumor gradually shifts its position or wanders (Fig. i6g). This is due to are most frequent in middle life, and their commonest situa-tions are in the subcutaneous tissues, especially of the back or of the dorsalsurfaces of the limbs; they usually occursingly, but may be multiple and some-times symmetrical.
