Lipomas are common benign mesenchymal tumours, whereas lipomatoses are uncommon. Familial multiple lipomatosis (FML) is a rare syndrome characterized by multiple usually painless lipomas which may be associated with other conditions. FML is considered to be genetic, with various patterns of inheritance suggested. In this case report, we described a case of multiple familial lipomatosis that was misdiagnosed as dercum's disease.
