Multiple, also known as familial multiple lipomatosis, lipomatosis is a rare considered disease characterized by the presence of numerous lipomas encapsulated in the neck, trunk, and extremities. Lipomas are generally (greasy) fatty benign tumors that do not cause pain or major problem in if you have them, with the exception perhaps of their appearance. It is a hereditary condition occasionally appearing in certain family members over the age of 30 years and rarely in children under that age.
