    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Surgery
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Benign symmetrical lipomatosis is a rare condition characterized by the symmetrical, non-encapsulated growth of adipose tissue, typically affecting middle-aged men.
    • The etiology of benign symmetrical lipomatosis remains unclear, though associations with alcohol abuse and certain genetic factors have been suggested.

    Observation:

    • A case of benign symmetrical lipomatosis is presented in a male patient.
    • The patient underwent multiple surgical excisions (six operations) to address the lipomatous growths.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention yielded satisfactory results in managing the patient's benign symmetrical lipomatosis.
    • The case highlights the challenges and outcomes associated with surgical treatment for this condition.
