title: [Surgical reduction in benign symmetrical lipomatosis].
abstract: We report on a 50-year-old female patient suffering from benign symmetric lipomatosis of her upper arms, shoulders, neck, back, abdomen, and thighs. Concomitantly, we found hypertension, hyperuricemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Since the patient complained of occasional pain in her upper arms and shoulders induced by work or pressure and suffered psychically from her deformity, we decided to reduce the fatty tissue of the upper arms surgically--with good cosmetic and functional results.
