Doença de Madelung (lipomatose cervical benigna simétrica): relato de dois casos

Ricardo Pires de Souza, Ademar José de Oliveira Paes Junior, Abrão Rapoport



ABSTRACT

The authors report two cases of patients with Madelung's disease, a symmetric fat deposit in the neck and superior mediastinum that involves nerves and vessels. Computed tomography can reveal the fat contents of these masses and guide preoperative staging and post-surgical follow-up.

Keywords: Madelung's disease, Cervical lipomatosis, Computed tomography

RESUMO

Os autores relatam dois casos da doença de Madelung, que consiste em depósitos simétricos de gordura localizados no pescoço, ombros e mediastino superior, envolvendo nervos e vasos. Recomenda-se o uso da tomografia computadorizada, a qual confirma a natureza lipóide da massa, útil no estadiamento pré-operatório e acompanhamento pós-cirúrgico.

Palavras-chave: Doença de Madelung, Lipomatose cervical, Tomografia computadorizada
