Unusual Distribution of the Lower Body Fatty Tissue: Classification, Treatment, and Differential Diagnosis

Abstract: Unusual fat distribution of the lower part of the body is clinically characterized by massive symmetric and diffuse fat deposition in the trochanters, groins, buttocks, hips, and lower extremities, which contrasts sharply with the normal upper part of the body. The massive lipomatoses of the lower part of the body can be classified into 3 types: type 1, the familial symmetrical lipomatosis that affects the groins, trochanters, hips, buttocks, and thighs; type 2, the bilateral peritrochanteric familial lipomato… Show more

“…El-Khatib [13] has used the wet technique to treat the lower part of the body with unusual fat distribution that is clinically characterized by massive symmetric and diffuse fat deposition in the trochanters, groins, buttocks, hips, and lower extremities; it contrasts sharply with the normal fat distribution in the upper part of the body. The massive lipomatoses of the lower body can be classified into 3 types: type 1, the familial symmetric lipomatosis (Simon's syndrome) that affects the groins, trochanters, hips, buttocks, and thighs [ Figure 1]; type 2, the bilateral peritrochanteric familial lipomatoses [ Figure 2]; and type 3, the unilateral peritrochanteric lipomatosis.…”
