ABSTRACT
Lipomas are the commonest benign tumour of mature type of fat cells. Prevalence is 2.1 per 100 people.They are slowly growing and merely need an excision. The lipoma is nearest to the medogranthi mentioned in ayurvedic texts. These are often excised because of cosmetic reasons. Now a days everyone tries to get treatment from Ayurveda to avoid surgery, so a pilot study has been done to see the effect of ayurvedic procedure on the lipoma. A pilot study on 3 patients has been done to see the primary effect of the procedure as mentioned in Sushruta Samhita as dahan by Agnitapta Loha Shalaka (burning by hot iron rod). The results found were encouraging and need for more evaluation in large sample size.
