Benign symmetric lipomatosis is a rare condition predominantly seen in male
patients. The etiology is unknown, and therapy is difficult, although
liposuction has had effect. We describe a 38-year-old male patient who had
suffered from severe adipositas since the age of 7. Due to an ulceration in the
groin, he later needed intensive care, and in order to normalize his condition,
extensive surgical treatment became necessary.
