It was first described in 1892 by Dercum, who called the disease "painful adiposis" to describe the painful adiposities (fat accumulations) observed in his 3 patients.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Multiple painful lipomas<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>Who gets Dercum's disease?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n- Stroke disease affects women more often than men (reportedly 5 to 30 times more common in women than men)<\/li>\n
- It usually appears between 35 and 50 years of age.<\/li>\n
- It may be more common in people with obesity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Most people with Dercum's disease have no family history of Dercum's disease. However, the disease has been reported to show a autosomal<\/span> Dominant pattern of inheritance in some families (that is, the children of someone with Dercum's disease have a 1 in 2 chance of developing it too).<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>How is Dercum's disease diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\nA diagnosis of Dercum's disease can be made by systematic physical examination and identification of the characteristic triad of features (multiple lipomas, painful plaques, and obesity).<\/p>\n
Multiple lipomas can also be characteristic of:<\/p>\n
\n- Multiple lipomatosis (family<\/span> or sporadic)<\/li>\n
- Fibromyalgia<\/li>\n
- Panniculitis<\/span><\/li>\n
- Obesity without painful plaques.<\/li>\n
- \n
Cushing syndrome<\/span>, which can also lead to abnormal fat distribution<\/span> and ecchymosis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA biopsy<\/span> can be useful to distinguish a lipoma from a angiolipoma<\/span> (another type of painful fat overgrowth).<\/p>\nOther lesions that can simulate lipomas include<\/p>\n
\n- Epidermoid cysts (which generally have a central punctum)<\/li>\n
- Hibernoma (a benign<\/span> brown fat growth)<\/li>\n
- Lipofascial hernia (a hernia in the anus or perianal<\/span> region)<\/li>\n
- Lipoedema<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>What is the treatment for Dercum's disease?<\/span><\/h2>\nBowel disease appears to benefit from the patient's weight loss. Surgical excision<\/span> Or liposuction of selected lipomas can help, especially when they are in inconvenient places. Surgical excision of many lipomas is generally not considered useful and is at risk of surgical complications.<\/p>\nConventional pain relievers do not appear to reduce the discomfort associated with Dercum's disease. Some reports suggest that a local anesthetic<\/span> injection or patch<\/span> It can provide relief for intractable pain.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la enfermedad de Dercum?
