ABSTRACT

Relata-se o caso de um paciente portador da doença de Madelung, definida clinicamente pela presença de múltiplos acúmulos de tecido adiposo não encapsulados, usualmente envolvendo a região cervical e superior do tórax, de distribuição simétrica. O exame de imagem eleito para confirmação do diagnóstico foi tomografia computadorizada, por ser menos dispendiosa e mais acessível, comparando-se à ressonância magnética.


The authors report the case of a patient with Madelung's disease, which is clinically described as the presence of multiple and symmetric non-encapsulated masses of fatty tissue, usually involving the neck and the upper region of the trunk. Computed tomography was selected as the imaging method for diagnosis confirmation, considering its lower cost and higher availability as compared with magnetic resonance imaging.
