In some patients, if neglected, these fatty lumps can grow to a large size and can make the patient appear grotesque.

(please be patient - it's a long article with lots of pictures and takes time to load). Original article in Swedish. A Pain in the Groin - This article is of great interest because it is the story of an older woman with a history of Dercum's Disease who goes to her doctor with a pain in her groin. They end up doing a hysterectomy and other stuff, and the pain did not go away. Finally, after some months, as the pain got worse, the doctors were able to convince the women to go back into surgery (she was not keen on it, since the previous surgeries did not solve the problem) and they finally operated on her again and took out a sizable lipoma. Maureen has talked to a lady who had a similar pain, and the doctor took out her appendix to relieve the pain. He took out the wrong thing. Again, it was a Dercum's lipoma.

Subject: Hundreds of Lipomas Topic Area: Neurosurgery - General Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By: decklyduck on Monday, July 15, 2002 Answer Posted By: CCF-Neuro-M.D.-JT on Sunday, July 21, 2002 There is a disease called Dercum's disease that is characterized by multiple painful lipomas. Not sure if this describes your husband's conditions, but it sounds like it. It has been associated with weakness, fatigue, emotional and cognitive changes in some cases, but fortunately there is no known association with other neurological signs/symptoms. Treatment is usually targeted towards pain relief rather than removal. Lidocaine ( a local anesthetic) can sometimes be helpful for very painful ones. There is a support group for patients and families with dercum's disease. However, I do not have any information on this. Perhaps you can try the internet. In the case that this is not dercum's disease, lipomas themselves are not cancerous and do not necessitate surgical removal. There is a disease called liposarcomas which are fatty
