Abstract
Madelung's disease is a rare disfiguring lipomatosis of unknown etiology. The only effective therapy is the palliative surgical removal of the fatty tissue by lipectomy or liposuction. Experience with eighteen surgically treated patients shows that despite a high rate of complications and the tendency to recur, both techniques might be very useful.
