Abstract

Benign symmetric lipomatosis (BSL), also called Madelung's disease, is a rare disease in middle-aged chronic alcohol user. The cause of BSL is unknown. A 63 year-old man with rapid growing lesions in both shoulders for 2 months visited our hospital. Except for cosmetic problem, no abnormal finding was found in blood cell analysis and chemistry; however, excessive fat deposition was found on radiographic findings. Lipoma was revealed in pathologic examination and BSL was diagnosed clinically. Patient is being followed up without any specific problem.

양성 대칭성 지방종증은 주로 음주를 하는 중년 남성에게 드물게 발생하며 아직 발생기전은 명확하게 알려져 있지 않은 질환이다. 63세 남자가 내원 2개월 전부터 갑작스럽게 증가하는 양쪽 어깨의 종 물을 주소로 내원하였다. 미용적인 문제 이외에 특별한 증상은 없었고, 혈액검사에서도 이상소견은 발견되지 않았으며 방사선학적 검사에서 과도한 지방의 축적이 관찰되었다. 조직검사에서 지방종으로 진단되었고 임상적으로 양성 대칭성 지방종증으로 진단되었다. 특별한 증상의 호소 없이 현재 외래 추적 관찰 중이다.
