LI-PO-MA (li-po-muh) n. 1. a benign fatty tumor that is of no clinical significance with the single exception being the lumpy appearance of the one afflicted. Weight loss attempts curiously have no effect on the size of the tumors, thus contributing to a more pronounced appearance (assuming the trendy fad diet was successful). At last count, the team captain had over 40 lipomas distributed predominantly over his torso. As you can imagine, the appearance of the original lipoma during the early teen years was met with similar angst and trepidation as "bodily" hair. Our team vision focuses on promoting awareness of this affliction for reasons yet to be determined.
