“…1,4 Also known as Multiple Symmetrical Lipomatosis, it is manifested by large fatty masses, not encapsulated and painless, with a symmetrical distribu- tion involving the head, neck and shoulder areas. 1,4,5,8,9 When the mediastinum is involved, complications related to a mass effect may occur. 1,4,8,9,10 Our patient presented involvement of the cervical region up to the sternal notch, without involvement of the mediastinum.…”

“…Like our patient, the majority of affected patients are male, between 30 and 60 years of age, and 60 to 90% of them are chronic alcoholics, which may justify several associated disorders such as: severe autonomic and peripheral neuropathy, malignant tumors of the upper airways, macrocytic anemia, hyperuricemia, alcoholic hepatopathy. 1,[4][5][6][8][9][10] In addition, it may be associated with: hypertriglyceridemia, masses of large dimensions associated with a symptom complex suggestive of compression or at the preoperative evaluation. 4 Malignization is rare and should be suspected in the presence of lipomatous masses with heterogeneous aspect in the imaging examination.…”

A 42-year-old male patient, alcoholic, presented showing signs of tumors in the neck and around the shoulders, scaly, erythematous-violaceous lesions and some bullous lesions in sun-exposed areas of upper and lower limbs. Based on clinical features, laboratory tests and imaging studies we have established the diagnosis of pellagra associated with benign symmetrical lipomatosis, both justified by chronic alcoholism. Treated with intravenous B-complex and oriented about the importance of alcohol withdrawal, the patient showed complete remission of skin lesions, but with no change in the lipomatosis.

SYNDROME IN QUESTION CASE REPORTA 65 year-old man presented for evaluation of multiple widespread nodules in his body. The lesions were long standing and began during his childhood. More lesions appeared over time. On physical examination multiple, subcutaneous, soft, mobile and non painful nodules and tumors were observed in the arms, legs and abdomen distorting the affected areas (Figures 1, 2 and 3). His past medical history was remarkable for diabetes mellitus and hepatocarcinoma secondary to chronic HBV infection. He denied alcohol consumption. Similar but less extensive lesions were observed in his two brothers and father. Some lesions were surgically excised because they caused functional discomfort. The histopathological examination showed the presence of globules of mature white adipose tissue surrounded by thin fibrous capsules. The analytical study showed no significant abnormalities including lipid abnormalities. Based on the characteristic clinical history, family history and histopathology the diagnosis of familial multiple lipomatosis (FML) was made.
