Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis: case report and literature review

Abstract: Surgical excision and liposuction are complementary treatments in the management of multiple symmetrical lipomatosis. Patients should be aware of the limitations of both surgical options, and the risk of lipoma recurrence, before surgery. The decision on the mode of surgery relies upon the disease extent, the patient's expectations and the surgeon's experience.

“…This may also be necessary for the differentiation of liposarcomas in some cases. In addition to impairing the aesthetic well‐being of those affected, de novo fat masses can penetrate the surrounding tissue and damage vessels, nerves and muscles . In the case of cervico‐nuchal BSL, which affects middle‐aged men in particular and has a prevalence of approximately 1 : 25,000, there is a risk that vital organs such as the trachea and esophagus will be compressed .…”

“…Auch zur Abgrenzung von Liposarkomen kann dies in einzelnen Fällen erforderlich sein. Neben der Beeinträchtigung des ästhetischen Wohlbefindens Betroffener können die de novo entstanden Fettmassen in umgebendes Gewebe eindringen und Gefäße, Nerven und Muskeln schädigen . Bei der cervikonuchalen BSL, die insbesondere Männer im mittleren Lebensalter betrifft und deren Prävalenz zirka 1 : 25.000 beträgt, besteht die Gefahr, dass lebenswichtige Organe wie Trachea und Ösophagus komprimiert werden .…”
