ABSTRACT
Madelung's disease, also known as multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of multiple, symmetric, loose adipose tissues distributed around the neck, shoulder, back or chest. MSL is different from simple obesity, which is characterized by the presence of well-distributed total body fat. It is rarely reported in Asia and most commonly seen among middle-aged men. Although the etiology of MSL is unknown, the disease is associated with alcoholism in 60% to 90% of patients. The diagnosis is usually made on the basis of the history, and clinical appearance. Also, imaging such as CT or MRI could confirm the diagnosis. Herein, we experienced an uncommon case of MSL in middle-aged women with alcoholism.
