Radiol Bras 2010;43(4):275-276 - CASE REPORT
The authors report the case of a patient with Madelung's disease, which is clinically described as the presence of multiple and symmetric non-encapsulated masses of fatty tissue, usually involving the neck and the upper region of the trunk. Computed tomography was selected as the imaging method for diagnosis confirmation, considering its lower cost and higher availability as compared with magnetic resonance imaging.
Keywords: Madelung's disease; Benign symmetric lipomatosis; Head and neck neoplasms; Computed tomography.
