ABSTRACT
La lipomatosis cervical múltiple es una alteración del depósito graso cervical, parte alta de tórax y extremidades superiores que genera un problema estético y eventualmente cuadros obstructivos de la vía respiratoria en aquellos casos de infiltración grasa de la laringe. Presentamos el caso de un hombre con enfermedad de Madelung y cuadro disneico agudo por infiltración grasa laríngea y lipoma obstructivo (AU)
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis is an alteration in the neck, upper trunk and upper extremities fat deposits. It produces an aesthetic problem and sometimes upper airway obstruction when the larynx is infiltrated by the mass. We report the case of a male with Madelung's disease, which began with acute dyspnea caused by laryngeal fat deposits and obstructive lipoma (AU)
