ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Kobberling-Dunnigan syndrome is characterized by a series of alterations in metabolism and body fat distribution. Body dysmorphism and the Cushingoid appearance may have negative social and psychological impacts on the patient, including difficulty with social adaptation. In such cases, liposuction is used with the aim of improving body contour, with consequent improvements in self-esteem. The results are long lasting when body weight is maintained. CASE REPORT: Liposuction of the back, abdomen, and cervical regions in a woman with Kobberling-Dunnigan syndrome led to significant improvement in her body shape, and the results were maintained nine months postoperatively.

ABSTRACT

Apresentamos um raro caso de hérnia diafragmática congênita (hérnia de Morgagni), no qual os achados radiológicos evidenciaram consolidação no hemitórax inferior direito. Suspeitou-se de pneumonia, mas como não houve melhora com o tratamento, foi indicada tomografia computadorizada, que sugeriu lipomatose pleural. O diagnóstico final foi no intra-operatório. A seguir fazemos uma revisão concisa sobre este tema e sua apresentação clínica, assim como seus principais achados radiológicos.


We present a rare case of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (Morgagni), in which the radiological findings had evidenced a consolidationin right inferior hemithorax. The first diagnostic was pneumonia, however it did not have improvement with the treatment,and a computed tomography was made which suggested a pleural lipomatosis. However, the diagnosis was only carried through during the surgery. We make a revision on this clinical presentation,as well as its main imaging findings.
