Dercum's Disease: An Unusual PresentationKosseifi, Semann, Anaya, Ervin, Dronovalli, Goutham, Leicht, Stuart 01 January 2010 (has links)
Dercum's disease, also known as adiposis dolorosa, is a rare disease characterized by the accumulation of painful subcutaneous deposits of mature adult fatty tissue around the thighs, trunk, and upper arms and usually in a multifocal distribution. We are reporting an unusual presentation of Dercum's disease, presenting as a single painful, erythematous lesion around the left hip in a 71-year old postmenopausal woman. This report emphasizes the unusual presentation of adiposa dolorosa with a new modality for therapy. A summary of the major clinical associations, diagnostic challenges, and treatment modalities are also included in this manuscript. Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
