Abstract
Abstract
Madelung’s disease or multiple symmetric lipomatosis could be described as being anything, but an ordinary entity. The etiopathogenetic mechanisms are admittedly multifactorial, debatable and not marked by promptness. Despite the aesthetic, most of the symptoms are direct results of the compression which occurs on the adjacent anatomical structures. Because of their characteristic appearance, patients with this condition can be clinically diagnosed, during the information-gathering process or while performing a physical exam. So far, the treatment of choice was surgical resection, leading to a well-pleasing outcome and reducing the risk of recurrence.
