Dercum's Disease Information

Adiposis dolorosa, also known as Dorcum's disease, is a rare disease characterized by multiple painful lipomas that arise in adult life. It occurs most often in obese postmenopausal women, but can also occur in men. The fatty tumors are most often located on the trunk and limbs with sparing of the face and hands. It was first formally described by Dr. Francis Xavier Dercum.
