M C Carlin et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 1988 Feb.

Abstract

Multiple symmetric lipomatosis is a fascinating disease of uncertain etiology that manifests as massive lipomatous deposits in specific areas of the body. The clinical syndrome and possible pathogenesis are discussed. Classic surgical lipectomy has been the only treatment thus far reported; we report a patient successfully treated with liposuction.
