Usually, treatment of a lipoma is not necessary, unless the tumor becomes painful or restricts movement. They are usually removed for cosmetic reasons, if they grow very large, or for histopathology to check that they are not a more dangerous type of tumor such as a liposarcoma.
The world's largest earthquake with an instrumentally documented magnitude occurred on May 22, 1960 near Valdivia, in southern Chile. It was assigned a magnitude of 9.5 by the United States Geological Survey.
These previously unrecorded, prehistoric quakes were far larger and more devastating than the 1933 earthquake which killed 160. Geologists initially believed major tremors occurred along the Newport-Inglewood fault - which stretches from Beverley Hills to San Diego - every 2,300 years.
