|
|
Benign symmetric lipomatosis is a rare disease. Its main characteristic is the symmetric massive deposits of adipose tissue, in unencapsulated form, predominatly on the neck, shoulder, back and upper exterimities. We report a case of a sixty one years old man with benign symmetric lipomatosis. He had a history of alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Due to cosmetic defomity, he wanted surgical treatment. We did a cervical lipectomy. He was satisfied with the result, and there was no evidence of recurrence.
