  • Title: Lipedema with multiple lipomas.
    Author: Pascucci A, Lynch PJ.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2010 Sep 15; 16(9):4. PubMed ID: 20875325.
    Abstract:
    Lipedema is an underdiagnosed syndrome of unclear etiology, characterized by symmetric painful enlargement of the buttocks and lower extremities, which spares the feet. This enlargement is caused by the deposition of adipose tissue. It was first described by Allen and Hines in 1940, who observed that it had a female predilection; patients commonly had an associated family history. We describe a patient with classic lipedema and multiple lipomas of her arms and trunk.
