Pulsatile ocular blood flow variations with axial length and refractive error

Benign symmetric lipomatosis (BSL), also known as Madelung's disease, is a rare condition and characterized by diffuse but painless growth of unencapsulated lipomas. A close correlation to alcohol and nicotine abuse, metabolic disturbances and malignant tumours have been observed. Surgical treatment is frequently followed by recurrence, nevertheless, it can yield satisfactory functional and cosmetic results. A case of BSL with uncommonly distributed tumors is reported.
