Abstract:
Familial multiple lipomatosis is a rare hereditary disorder with a proposed autosomal dominant inheritance. Clinically, multiple well-circumscribed, encapsulated lipomas occur on the extremities and trunk. Familial multiple lipomatosis is often confused with multiple symmetric lipomatosis, which is a condition involving a diffuse fatty infiltration around the neck and shoulders. We report two cases of familial multiple lipomatosis with typical clinical features and familial history. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first cases of familial multiple lipomatosis in Korea.
