Re: The GS Health and Fitness Dictionary!!!

not really. a lipoma is just an accumulation of fat cells in a certain spot. it's benign. an example of hyperplasia and hypertrophy is the uterus. under normal physiological conditions such as pregnancy it not only increases in size, the number of cells in the uterus increase as well.
