What Causes Lipoma In The Abdominal Wall?

27, 5'5", 125 lbs
Scleroderma (localized)
Reynaud's
Poly-cycstic ovarian syndrome
Severe Migraines
Lipomas

Just came back from the ultrasound and I have a lipoma in the abdominal wall and very very near a newly active scleroderma spot (the scl. spread from my leg to my trunk recently though the leg scl. was diagnosed 21 years ago). Just wondering if there is any connection between the scl. and the lipoma (as both affect the soft tissues). Many thanks!

Reason for this is not known.
There is no medical treatment for lipoma.
