A case of diffuse mediastinal lipomatosis (ML) is described, associated to exogenous obesity, infrequent entity, which is comprehended within the causes which can cause mediastinal broadening. The clinical characteristics of our observation and the general aspects of interest are reviewed for this
Dyspnoea in obese patients can be multifactorial and complex. Mediastinal and pleural lipomatosis can be associated with obesity and is usually considered asymptomatic and benign. We report an obese 39-year-old man who presented with progressive dyspnoea, where in addition to obstructive sleep
Spinal extradural lipomatosis is rare and is usually associated with long-term steroid administration or obesity. It is most commonly thoracic in situation. We present a unique case of spinal extradural lipomatosis in a 20-year-old non-obese, clinically normal man. The role of MRI in investigation
The case reported concerns an obese patient suffering from lumbo-radicular intermittent claudication due to lumbar epidural lipomatosis. Compression was revealed by magnetic resonance imaging which showed the existence of a hypersignal in weighted sequences in T1 situated in the epidural space and
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) is characterized by subcutaneous accumulation of nonencapsulated adipose tissue. In type 2 MSL accumulation occurs on proximal limbs, upper back and hips. This sometimes unrecognized disease is similar to an exaggerated female fat distribution and can be confused
Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare condition defined as pathological overgrowth of the normally present epidural fat within the spinal canal. SEL is associated with Cushing disease, obesity and chronic corticosteroid therapy. Diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) has not known to be In a 69-year-old obese woman on prednisone treatment for temporal arteritis a widened mediastinum on chest X-ray proved to be mediastinal lipomatosis on CT-scan.
A case of superior mediastinal widening due to unusual amounts of fat accumulations is reported in a patient with simple obesity, not associated with iatrogenic or primary Cushing's syndrome. The radiographic features included a smooth bilateral widening of the superior mediastinum, relative
Symptomatic spinal epidural lipomatosis is a rare disorder characterized by overgrowth of fat in the extradural space. Most patients have an underlying endocrine disorder, such as Cushing's syndrome, or have taken exogenous steroids chronically. Although less common, obesity alone is thought to be a
The authors present a case of thoracic spinal cord compression secondary to epidural lipomatosis in an obese patient. This patient represents the 10th case of epidural lipomatosis secondary to simple obesity reported in the literature. The diagnosis is based on three criteria: 1) medical history and
METHODS
Multicenter case-control study.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the pathogenesis of idiopathic spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL).
BACKGROUND
SEL is often associated with the history of steroid use or endocrine disorders; however, the pathogenesis of idiopathic SEL remains poorly
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL), also known as Launois-Bensaude syndrome or Madelung's disease, is a rare disorder predominantly seen in middle-aged male patients. The disorder is characterized by large subcutaneous fat masses distributed around the neck, shoulders, and other parts of the
Spinal epidural lipomatosis (EL) represents an excessive deposition of unencapsulated adipose tissue in the spinal canal that can result in chronic back pain in patients who are obese with and without diabetes. We aim to calculate the total volumetric epidural fat on lumbar spine MRI Lipomatosis, regarded as deposition of fat cells in the pancreas, was investigated and graded into four groups in 394 consecutive autopsies. In all necropsies except one fat cells were present; gr. 1:51%, gr. 2:26%, gr. 3:15% and gr. 4:8%. Age as well as overweight was significantly correlated to
OBJECTIVE
To test whether renal lipomatosis, an accretion of fat in the renal sinus associated with chronic renal infections, abscesses and calculi, can also be caused by rapid weight gain.
METHODS
New Zealand white rabbits were fed either standard rabbit chow (n = 24) or chow fortified with 10%
