Definition:a rare condition which is characterized with large symmetrical accumulation of noncapsulated fat tissue in upper arms, neck, and shoulder areas. The disease etiology is unknown, with the highest incidence in the Mediterranean region. Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) is a rare subcutaneous tissue disease characterized by growth of symmetric non-encapsulated masses of adipose tissue mostly around the face and neck with variable clinical repercussions (e.g. reduced neck mobility, compression of respiratory structures).
