Abstract

Benign multiple symmetric lipomatosis (Madelung's disease) is a rare disease and characterized by non-
capsulated accumulations of fat in a symmetrical manner around the neck and the shoulder, rarely
involving the lower limbs and the lower body. The prevalence is increased among the mediteranean
ulation and very rare in the oriental area . The etiology is still unknown. We have prest
case of madelung disease type I associated with avascular necrosis at both fernoral heads and gyneco-
mastia at the right breast.
