    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Genetics
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Familial multiple lipomatosis (FML) is a rare genetic condition characterized by the development of numerous lipomas.
    • Understanding the genetic basis and clinical presentation of FML is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • A distinct case of familial multiple lipomatosis is presented, detailing the patient's lineage and affected family members.
    • The case highlights the hereditary nature and phenotypic variability within FML kindreds.

    Findings:

    • A comprehensive review of existing literature on familial multiple lipomatosis is provided.
    • Excisional biopsy is recommended for definitive diagnosis, especially in cases with diagnostic ambiguity, pain, or functional impairment.
