title: The treatment of multiple angiolipomas by liposuction surgery.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Recently, liposuction surgery has been widely accepted for body contouring or other noncosmetic applications, including lipoma and angiolipomatosis.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  We treated a case of multiple angiolipomas at 49 years of age to confirm the utility of liposuction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Liposuction under general anesthesia was performed for angiolipomas distributed over the trunk.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient has been followed for 2 years without recurrence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We believe that liposuction is a safe and easy method of removing multiple angiolipomas.
