Once the possibility of malignancy was excluded, the patient's history and clinical and radiological findings led to the diagnosis of Madelung's disease. A two-stage surgery was planned and the patient underwent lipectomy of the lipomas around the neck.</br> <b><br>Conclusions:
</b> This article analyses the clinical data with Madelung's disease; discusses its aetiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment methods; and provides help with clinical diagnosis and treatment.</br>.Palavras-chave
