DEBEN SANCHEZ, M.; VELOSO ROSENDO, M.; PEREZ ALVAREZ, C. y PITA CAAVEIRO, L.. Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis: report of two diferent clinical types and review of the literature. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2003, vol.20, n.5, pp.27-30. ISSN 0212-7199.
Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis or Launois-Bensaude disease is a rare entity characterized by the development of sucutaneous fat masses around the neck, shoulders and upper extremities. Peripheral neuropathy is a common finding as well as the association with alcholism, hepatopathy and glucose intolerance. Pathogenesis is unknown. We describe three cases with two different clinical types and review the data reported in medical literature.
