Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis
(Madelung's disease) is a rare disease with multiple symmetrical unencapsulated fatty accumulation diffusely involving the neck, the shoulders and the upper extremities (Kohan et al. Otolaryngol. Head Neck Surg. 1993;108:156-159). We describe a 48-year-old Japanese man with a history of alcoholism and
liver cirrhosis
who reported gradually enlarging masses in his cervical region for 4 years. MRI revealed large masses suggesting lipomas in the neck. The patient underwent a two-stage lipectomy. This patient is the 13th case reported in Japan since 1978, though over 200 cases have been reported since 1846 in Europe, most of them from the Mediterranean (Kitano et al. ORL 1994;56:177 180; Kaku et al. Endocrinol. Diabetol. 1997;4:103-106).
