A Case of Benign Symmetric Lipomatosis / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Benign symmetric lipomatosis is characterized by massive symmetric fat deposition, predominantly in the neck and shoulder girdle ares. We present a case of benign symmetric lipomatosis with alcoholic liver cirrhosis in a 54-year-old man. About two years ago, solitary skin-colored, non-tender swelling on the right upper arm was developed. The lesion had been aggravsted abruptly and rapidly in size and distribution since about one month ago. Histopathologic findings showed completely replaced reticular dermis and invaded subcutaneous tissue by mature fat cells.
