Abstract
Madelung disease is an uncommon disease characterized by large subcutaneous adipose masses. Mediterranean countries show higher disease incidence. We review the current concepts concerning this pathology, including etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Madelung disease usually affects the upper half of the body, but we describe a patient with scrotal lipomas. As this location is rare, we review the cases found in literature, as well as the specific nuances regarding local symptoms and treatment.
