An Unusual Case of Madelung's Disease with Multiple Atypical Fractures.

Madelung's disease is a rare acquired disorder of fat metabolism characterized by multiple symmetric lipomas with typical distribution mainly around the upper trunk, neck, and shoulders. The condition is strongly associated with chronic alcohol use and has various systemic manifestations like polyneuropathy, muscle weakness, and small bone fractures. Herein, we report a 56- year-old male patient with Madelung's disease and multiple fractures and discuss possible underlying factors leading to multiple fractures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
