I've had one dog where this turned into a real problem. If the lypoma doesn't grow and doesn't attach it's mostly a cosmetic problem. However, if it does grow and does attach, as it did on my dog's rib cage, it cannot be safely / effectively removed. My little 13" Beagle ended up with a huge lipoma on his side and couldn't sleep on that side. It had attached through the muscle and between the ribs and couldn't be removed. I haven't had a dog with a lypoma since then but if I do in the future I'm going to opt for removal rather than "wait and see", even though they are benign tumors and basically harmless.
