The cause of this disease is unknown, and it is characterized by symmetrical accumulation of fat around the neck,nape and armpit having a appearance of "horse collar"or "hump back". Histological analysis revealed typical fat tissue depositing around the structures. Surgery is the main means of treatment, and prognosis is good.
