Multiple Symmetric Lipomatosis (Madelung's Disease) Caused by the MERRF (A8344G) Mutation

1 Sept 2003

Abstract excerpt

Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) was first described by Brodie in 1846 and is characterized by accumulation of non-encapsulated lipomas in the cervical-cranial-thoracic region. Alcohol consumption is regarded as essential in lipoma development by some. Mitochondrial dysfunction was first reported in 1991. Since then, there has been controversy regarding etiology of MSL, with a number of studies supporting and...
