Central form of multiple symmetric lipomatosis: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (also known as Madelung's disease, Launois-Bensaude syndrome or benign symmetric lipomatosis) is a rare disease, the etiology of which is unknown. Multiple, symmetric, non-encapsulated lipomatous masses on the face, neck, upper arms, and upper trunk are typical in most cases. Five out of the 200 cases reported in the literature were the distal form of the disease; the rest were proximal. We describe, for the first time, a central form of the disease, simultaneously involving the lower trunk, arms and upper legs.

UNLABELLED Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue mesenchymal tumours composed of mature adipose tissue. They are uncommon in the oral and maxillofacial regions, with 15-20 % of cases involving the head and neck region and less than 5% of all benign oral lesions. Multiple symmetric lipomatosis is rare and characterized by diffuse growth and nonencapsulated lipomas. It is usually found i...
