ABSTRACT
Benign symmetric lipomatosis is characterized by diffuse symmetric deposits of nonencapsulated fat, generally affecting the cervical and upper dorsal regions. There is a history of alcohol abuse in nearly all the cases. It is rarely reported in non-drinkers. Herein we report a 63-year-old man presenting with one year's history of multiple ill-defined symmetric soft mass on posterior neck, upper trunk and upper extremities without the history of alcohol abuse. We ad-ministered corticosteroid orally due to osteoarthritis of the knee for a long time.
