Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical features and available treatment of multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL).
Methods:
A cohort of 15 cases with MSL registered in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University was reviewed. The etiology, clinical manifestations, treatments and prognosis were also investigated.
Results:
All the cases were performed sectionalized excisions to cut off the lipoma localized in the neck under general anesthesia. During the follow up period, 13 out of 15 cases were cured after the excision with acceptable appearance and normal local function. Two cases with surgical complications, the one was hematoma, and the other was lymphatic leakage. There were 2 cases with relapses under our follow-up visit.
Conclusion:
Sectionalized lipoma excision under general anesthesia is a relative safe method for MSL.
