Abstract
Madelung disease (MD) was first described by Brodie in 1846 as a rare multiple lipoma. It is a benign tumor characterized by symmetrical diffuse adipose tissue deposition in the proximal extremities and neck. Until now, the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease have not been fully explained, resulting in difficulties in diagnosis and treatment; moreover, palliative treatment, such as surgical resection of adipose tissue or liposuction, is still the mainstream treatment for MD. However, the effectiveness of palliative surgery is limited, and most patients still relapse or metastasize after treatment. Therefore, we analyzed the relationship between tumor cells and immune cells in MD using single-cell RNA sequencing for the first time and combined an analysis of our results with a review of previous literature reports. Our study provides a new perspective on the pathogenesis of MD and provides a vital clinical basis for targeted therapy. DATA AVAILABILITY: The authors declare that all the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article and its Supplemental information files.

Abstract
PURPOSE Madelung's disease (MD) is a rare disease characterized by the deposition of unencapsulated fat masses on the face, neck, chest, back and other areas of patients. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical characteristics, comorbidities and treatment of MD in Chinese populations. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 54 patients who were diagnosed with MD at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University and Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January 2005 to February 2021 and collected the subjects' demographic information, clinical indicators, location of fat deposits, treatment, complications and prognostic data. RESULTS Among 54 MD patients in the study, only 1 (1.85%) was female, and the subjects had an average age of 56.65 ± 7.93 years. More than 70% of patients had a history of long-term smoking or/and alcohol abuse. In our study, type I accounted for approximately 61.11% of cases according to Donhauser's classification, and almost all patients had neck fat deposition. MD patients often have multiple comorbidities across several systems, such as the endocrine, digestive, circulatory, urinary, and neurological systems. Among these, endocrine system diseases were the most common comorbidities in our study, accounting for 81.48%. Notably, up to 20.37% of cases were complicated with cancer, especially digestive system tumors. More than 70% of the patients received surgical treatment, and nearly 40% experienced postoperative recurrence. CONCLUSION Considering that MD patients often have comorbidities of multiple systems and that a small number of cases are even complicated by cancer, we recommend that clinicians comprehensively assess a patient's condition and complications, advocate that patients quit consuming alcohol and smoking as soon as possible, establish healthy dietary and living habits, and formulate individualized and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Madelung's disease (MD) is a rare disorder of lipid metabolism, characterized by the growth of unencapsulated masses of adipose tissue symmetrically deposited around the neck, shoulders, or other sites around the body. Its pathological mechanism is not yet known. One of the most common comorbidities in MD patients is liver disease, especially chronic alcoholic liver disease (CALD); however, no reports exist of acute kidney injury (AKI) with MD. CASE SUMMARY We report a 60-year-old man who presented with complaint of edema in the lower limbs that had persisted for 3 d. Physical examination showed subcutaneous masses around the neck, and history-taking revealed the masses to have been present for 2 years and long-term heavy drinking. Considering the clinical symptoms, along with various laboratory test results and imaging characteristics, a diagnosis was made of MD with acute exacerbation of CALD and AKI. The patient was treated with liver function protection and traditional Chinese medicine, without surgical intervention. He was advised to quit drinking. After 10 d, the edema had subsided, renal function indicators returned to normal, liver function significantly improved, and size of subcutaneous masses remained stable. CONCLUSION In MD, concomitant liver or kidney complications are possible and monitoring of liver and kidney functions can be beneficial.

Multidisciplinary diagnostic dilemma in differentiating Madelung’s disease — the value of superb microvascular imaging technique: A case report. World J Clin Cases 2021; 9:6145-6154. [PMID: 34368337 PMCID: PMC8316957 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i21.6145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Madelung’s disease, also known as multiple symmetrical lipomatosis, is a rare, underrecognized disorder of fat metabolism that results in unusual accumulation of subcutaneous fat deposits around the neck, shoulders, upper arms, trunk, hips, and upper thighs. Our case demonstrates the importance of differential diagnosis and the value of a superb microvascular imaging technique for suspecting and confirming Madelung’s disease. Timely diagnosis and alcohol abstinence could prevent the progression of growing fatty masses and prevent surgery.
CASE SUMMARY A 62-year-old male was admitted to the Rheumatology center complaining of symmetric subcutaneous tumors in the area of the parotid and submandibular salivary glands, small soft masses in the occiput and upper third of the forearm, rashes on calves. A high titer of rheumatoid factor and low concentrations of serum complements were detected. The high-end ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging examinations of all affected areas of the soft tissues showed predominantly adipose tissue (lipomas) without suspicion of liposarcoma. The biopsy from the small salivary gland revealed no pathology. After evaluating the patient’s clinical presentation (symmetrical lipomatosis, cirrhosis, gynecomastia, anemia, hyperuricemia), Madelung’s disease, type I, along with the psoriatic rash and psoriatic arthritis and secondary liver cirrhosis were established.
CONCLUSION Madelung’s disease consists of many co-occurring disorders imitating and overlapping with other conditions. Ultrasonography is the first choice for suspecting and confirming symmetrical lipomatosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Madelung disease (MD) is a rare disorder of fat metabolism, resulting in diffuse, symmetrical and painless deposition of adipose tissue in subcutaneous superficial fascial space and/or deep fascia space of the head, neck and shoulders, etc.
CASE SUMMARY We report a case of MD accompanied by type 2 diabetes in a 61-year-old Chinese male. The patient presented with progressive fat deposition over the mandible, neck, abdomen and elbows. He had a history of smoking and alcohol abuse. Excessive fat deposition was seen in the mandible, elbows and the abdominal area of the patient by ultrasonic examination. Computed tomography showed diffuse and marked soft masses (fat density) in the subcutaneous superficial fascia space of the neck. The patient was diagnosed with MD. He was advised to abstain from alcohol and was followed up regularly.
CONCLUSION This report discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of MD, and raises the clinician’s awareness of this disease.

Abstract
Madelung Disease (MD) is a syndrome characterized by the accumulation of aberrant symmetric adipose tissue deposits. The etiology of this disease is yet to be elucidated, even though the presence of comorbidities, either genetic or environmental, has been reported. For this reason, establishing an in vitro model for MD is considered crucial to get insights into its physiopathology. We previously established a protocol for isolation and culture of stem cells from diseased tissues. Therefore, we isolated human adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) from MD patients and compared these cells with those isolated from healthy subjects in terms of surface phenotype, growth kinetic, adipogenic differentiation potential, and molecular alterations. Moreover, we evaluated the ability of the MD-ASC secretome to affect healthy ASC. The results reported a difference in the growth kinetic and surface markers of MD-ASC compared to healthy ASC but not in adipogenic differentiation. The most commonly described mitochondrial mutations were not observed. Still, MD-ASC secretome was able to shift the healthy ASC phenotype to an MD phenotype. This work provides evidence of the possibility of exploiting a patient-based in vitro model for better understanding MD pathophysiology, possibly favoring the development of novel target therapies.

Abstract
Madelung's disease is a rare disorder described for the first time in the year 1846 by Brodie. It is characterized by the occurrence of progressive, excessive, and symmetrical deposits of adipose tissue in the subcutaneous layer. Most often, these changes concern the neck, the nape of the neck, arms, and upper back, giving the patients a specific, pseudoathletic appearance. Madelung's disease is also known as multiple symmetrical lipomatosis, benign symmetrical lipomatosis, and Launois-Bensaude syndrome. The most commonly affected ones are men who drink alcohol in excessive amounts. The fat masses emerging in the course of the disease are painless but can lead to adverse repercussions. Patients may experience dysphagia, dysphonia, difficulty in breathing, and limited mobility of the neck. The reasons for the willingness to take up treatment are also often esthetic reasons. The disease is usually accompanied by numerous metabolic disorders. The etiology of the disease has not been sufficiently explained so far, which creates diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Currently used treatment is limited to surgical resection of the resulting lesions or liposuction. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these activities is limited. Most patients experience recurrence after treatment. This paper discusses the essence of Madelung's disease, numerous aspects of etiology, the manner of diagnosis, and treatment based on current literature data.

Abstract
Madelung disease or multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) is a rare entity among the overgrowth syndromes. It is characterized by painless non-encapsulated and symmetric fatty deposits in the neck, torso, mammary, and abdominal areas, and in the upper and lower limbs. The etiology of the disease is still unknown. Chronic alcohol consumption may play a role in adipocyte hyperplasia in genetically susceptible individuals. Besides the overgrowth of adipose tissue, patients with MSL present features of metabolic syndrome. Patients seek medical attention usually for esthetic reasons. We present the case of a middle-aged man who sought the outpatient clinic complaining of bulging masses in the posterior upper part of the thorax, the occipital area, and the neck. The masses grew over a period of 2 years. The physical examination and imaging study revealed the presence of symmetric lipomatosis. A two-step surgical treatment was undertaken for the excision of the lipomatous tissue. The postoperative outcome was uneventful with satisfactory esthetic results.

Abstract
Background Madelung's disease is a rare lipid metabolic disorder characterized by diffuse, uncapsulated lipomas in the neck, shoulder, and other areas. It mainly affects middle-aged men and is related to alcohol abuse, and the cause is not clear. Surgical treatments include lipectomy and liposuction. Methods This systematic review analyzed the treatment of Madelung's disease described in 52 articles including complete patient details, published between 2000 and 2015, and retrieved from the Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, and Embase. Results Lipectomy was performed in most cases and achieved more complete removal and better control of iatrogenic lesions of nearby structures than liposuction. Liposuction achieved good cosmetic results and is simpler and less invasive than lipectomy, but clinical experience is limited. Conclusions Both lipectomy and liposuction have advantages and drawbacks. Surgeons should base the choice of optimal treatment on patient characteristics. Novel surgical techniques and etiologically targeted treatments hold promise as future therapies.

Abstract
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis is a rare disease characterized by a symmetrical accumulation of massive adipose tissue on the neck, the superior part of the trunk, and limbs. Here, we reported an extremely rare case of multiple symmetric lipomatosis in a 46-year-old Chinese man, who has a history of heavy drinking and smoking and presented with diffuse lipomatosis and bilateral breast enlargement. Hyperuricemia and impaired glucose tolerance test were all found in this patient. A brief review of the literature was also made in this article.
