Benign symmetrical lipomatosis (BSL) is a disease characterized by massively symmetrical fat deposits predominantly in the neck and shoulder girdle area. The disease is frequently associated with alcoholism, hepatopathy, glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia, and malignant tumors. We describe a patient with BSL of the dorsal surfaces of both hands.
