Reumatologia. 2016;54(4):212. doi: 10.5114/reum.2016.62477. Epub 2016 Oct 5.

Abstract

Dercum's disease is a rare disorder with subcutaneous formation of fatty tissue (lipomas) with symptoms of pain, fatigue, stiffness, weakness and in some cases arthritis. The rarity of this disease causes that it is not taken into consideration in the rheumatological differential diagnosis, so this short report draws attention to this rare disease.

Keywords: Dercum’s; disease; multiple fatty masses.
