Suffering from a lump in the neck, Kelly Vedovelli, columnist for Touche pas à mon poste, announced on her networks in December an upcoming intervention. It’s done. The young woman suffered from a lipoma, a benign tumor.
The followers of Do not touch My TV will no doubt have noticed his absence: on Valentine’s Day, the columnist Kelly Vedovelli was not on set, but in the operating room for a small benign but necessary intervention, the extraction of a lipoma in the neck.
“You have to remove it because it gets bigger“
The young woman had mentioned the subject herself in December, last on her Instagram account, to her thousands of subscribers, evoking a ball in her neck, and an intervention to be planned while reassuring her fans all the same:
“For the ball I have here, I have good news. It’s nothing serious, it’s a lipoma (a benign tumor). You have to remove it because it gets bigger and it’s very disturbing, but it’s nothing serious“.
Transparent about her misadventure, Kelly Vedovelli had also mentioned the various aspects of her decision: “It’s also very aesthetic, in the sense that I can no longer support my head with this ball”
Lipoma, a harmless nodule of fat
The columnist therefore suffered from this lipoma. It’s not always the case. Rather soft, of variable size, the lipoma is a totally benign cluster of subcutaneous fat. However, this excess fat can develop anywhere on the body and measure between 1 and 20 cm, which can make it look awkward on a daily basis. Different types of lipoma exist
- The “circumscribed” lipoma: it forms under the skin or in a muscle;
- Diffuse lipoma: rarer, it can resurface even after treatment and/or ablation;
- Adeno-lipomatosis: it is a lipoma associated with a adenopathy underlying, i.e. an impairment of the lymph nodes.
Treatment is usually not required, but troublesome lipomas can be removed by excision or liposuction.
Today rid of her size, the young woman offers a few days of rest. According to her accomplice Cyril Hanouna, she will be back on the show next week.
