  • In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper removes a massive lipoma that takes up a patient's entire left upper back.

  • Lipomas are benign tumors made up of fat tissue and are painless, though they can grow to be quite large.

  • One commenter wrote on the video that the lipoma resembles a breakfast egg.

One plate of scrambled eggs, coming up. In a new Instagram video, Dr. Pimple Popper — aka, dermatologist and TLC host Dr. Sandra Lee, MD — removes a chunky yellow lipoma from a patient’s upper back. One particularly imaginative fan commented on the video that the lipoma resembles a breakfast egg. Yum.

In the video, the lipoma can be seen to take up the entire left side of the patient’s upper back. Dr. Lee snips open an incision, and then uses her finger to loosen the lipoma from deeper structures within the body. Though the full extraction isn’t seen in the video, the entire contents of the lipoma post-procedure is shown—and it's massive, yellow and chunky.

“I’m not gonna look at soft boiled eggs the same way again,” one commenter wrote on the video. “This is pure yellow gold.” Truly the extracted lipoma may look more like a plate of soft scrambled eggs, but let’s not get too technical with our disturbing breakfast comparisons.

A lipoma clearly isn't sustenance; rather it is a benign tumor made up of fat tissue. They are actually most commonly found in men, though this patient is a woman. The growths are usually painless and commonly grow on the arms, back, and legs.
