RESUMO
A doença de Madelung é caracterizada por massas simétricas de tecido adiposo no pescoço, ombros, braços e parte superior do tronco. A tomografia computadorizada demonstra achados de imagem característicos e é considerada o método de escolha para diagnóstico, estadiamento pré-operatório e acompanhamento pós-cirúrgico. Relatamos o caso de um homem com aspectos tomográficos típicos da doença de Madelung.
