Benign disease characterized by disproportionate, unencapsulated, diffuse subcutaneous adipose tissue hyperplasia (especially in the area of the upper trunk), which leads to a disproportionate distribution of the adipose tissue depending on its location.

Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.

Diffuse symmetrical, massive, tumor-like, doughy dermal proliferation of fatty tissue. Differentiation of lipomas is difficult due to lack of encapsulation.

Frequent association with internal diseases, especially polyneuropathy, chronic liver damage, gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, lung carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, myalgias, arthralgias, and varicosis.

In gynecoid type III, the fat deposits are predominantly found in apron-like fashion on the abdomen and in the pelvic girdle area.
