- Abstract
The article describes a case of benign symmetric lipomatosis of the media knees in a 68-year-old Japanese woman. It states that although the treatment for lipomatosis is difficult, liposuction and open surgical excision can be performed in patients with severe cosmetic problems. However, it concluded that lipectomy and liposuction must be limited to cases in which there is compression of vital organs or large deformities.
