CT IMAGING OF MADELUNG DISEASE: A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Madelung Disease was first described by Launois and Bensaude in 1898 (1). Its synonyms are Launois-Bensaude disease, Buschke disease, cervical lipomatosis, Madelung neck and multiple symmetrical lipomatosis (2). It is characterized by progressive growth of fat masses which are located symmetrically at the neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen and groin (3). The disease seems to be more frequent in the Mediterranean regions, and approximately 97% of those affected are men.
We report a case of Madelung disease in a 38 years-old Thai male patient.
