Abstract
- Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis is a rare diffuse presentation of the progressive accumulation of deposits of nonencapsulated masses of adipose tissue. The characteristic image of this disease is bilateral swelling in the neck, the upper part of upper limb, pelvic rim, back, and thighs. We report a case of unusual localization of benign scrotal symmetrical lipomatosis with ultrasound and histological appearances of the scrotal lipomatous masses, together with treatment. Scrotal lipomatosis should be considered as a rare differential diagnosis of scrotal swelling, and excisional lipectomy should be considered in preference over liposuction. Patients should be offered counseling for infertility.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have no financial interest to declare in relation to the content of this article.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.
