Symmetrical Lipomatosis

Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis, or Madelung's disease, is a rare disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by the presence of loose adipose tissue deposits localized in the cervical region and in the upper body. The neoformations grow slowly and their initial consequence is purely esthetic. They can, however, lead to compression of the laryngotacheal area and of the esophagus. This disease usually affects middle-aged males from the Mediterranean area with a history of alcohol abuse. Although most cases have been sporadic, a few authors have indicated that the disorder may be hereditary. It is thought that this pathology originates from an alteration in lipid metabolism. Since the patients were asymptomatic temperance and diet was proposed, surgical removal of the lipomatose mass is the treatment of choice in case of complications due to fat mass compression on upper aerodigestive tract. The authors present three cases of Madelung's disease with different and particular manifestations.

Inguinal hernia repair using mesh is one of the most frequently performed operations in general surgery. The mesh can be placed using an open technique or by laparoscopic approach. Many studies have highlighted the merits and risks of laparoscopic approach for the repair of inguinal hernia, the final sentence still remains to be written as majority of trials are too small to show clear benefits of one technique over another. To compare laparoscopic mesh repair with open method in management of inguinal hernia. Asian Journal of Medical Science, Volume-5(3) 2014: 11-14 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v5i3.9301

Cystic and bullous lung transformation occurs in diseases of various origins: neoplastic, genetically determined, rheumatic, lymphoproliferative, and infectious diseases. The paper presents a review of the literature and a clinical case of a young female patient with a long history of Sjögren's disease. Fifteen years after the onset of the disease, the patient developed cystic and bullous lung transformation and renal angiomyolipoma, which are regarded as a manifestation of probable lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

Madelung's disease, or multiple symmetric lipomatosis, is a rare disease, characterized by accumulation of unencapsulated fat, generally located symmetrically around the neck and shoulders. Here, we present the case of a patient with diffuse lipomatosis accompanied by obstructive sleep apnea due to cervical involvement and facial deformity, which made it necessary to use nasal pillows for ventilation. The patient was hospitalized with a diagnosis of pneumonia and required noninvasive ventilation due to severe hypercapnia. A brief review of the literature was made, and we describe and discuss the investigation of this rare clinical case.

Introduction. Multiple symmetric lipomatosis, or Madelung's disease, is a rare condition which is characterized with large symmetrical accumulation of noncapsulated fat tissue in upper arms, neck, and shoulder areas. The disease etiology is unknown, with the highest incidence in the Mediterranean region.Case Presentation. Here, we present the case of Madelung's disease with symmetric fat distribution throughout the neck and history of alcoholism. The patient was treated from several diseases associated with alcoholism and hospitalized several times, but the diagnosis of Madelung's disease was omitted. The thyroid gland disease was excluded, while enlargement of the neck adipose tissue was attributed to obesity.Conclusions. This study points out possible diagnostic mistakes when a physician is not aware of a differentiation diagnosis of symmetrically enlarged neck masses, especially in geographic regions with high incidence of this disease.

Abstract Madelung’s disease also called benign symmetric lipomatosis is a rare disorder of unknown etiology. The disease affects almost exclusively middle-aged men with a history of multi-year alcohol abuse. The major symptom is presence of non-encapsulated benign fat masses, especially in the area of the head and neck. Limited head and neck movement, dysphagia, and dyspnea may appear as well. The diagnosis is clinical and is supported by imaging methods, often elevated hepatic enzymes in blood serum, and histological examination with finding of mature adipose tissue without signs of proliferation. Therapeutic methods involve liposuction or excision which is a method of choice nowadays. In this article the authors review current knowledge, research state, and present five cases of the Madelung’s disease occurring within the last 10 years at the Clinic of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery in Martin, Slovakia.

Madelung’s disease is a rare disorder characterised by excessive and symmetrical deposits of adipose tissue, typically in the cervicofacial region. Alcohol is a known cause of the condition, however, there are reports that this condition is genetically inherited. Lipomatosis of the orbit has been described in the alcoholic Madelung’s disease, however, in our case report, we believe this is the first reported instance of proptosis caused by the genetic form of the condition. We present a 69-year-old woman, with a medical history of genetic Madelung’s disease, who presented with bilateral proptosis worse in her right eye. Her ocular examination was normal apart from exophthalmometry, showing bilateral proptosis. This was confirmed by an MRI, which further showed intraorbital fat deposition bilaterally. Due to the stability of her condition, no treatment was deemed necessary. We highlight the importance of monitoring for progressive optic nerve compromise and liposarcomatous malignant transformation.

Chordoma is an uncommon tumor , so the metastatic cases generally are given more attention. Various cases with central nervous system involvement, cutaneous and mandible metastases have been reported. Metastases to bone is noted in literature but metastases to bilateral clavicle is not reported yet to the best of our knowledge. We hereby present a rare case of sacral chordoma with clavicular metastases. Asian Journal of Medical Science, Volume-4 (2013), Pages 24-27 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v4i4.7999
