Development of the nodular, tender lipomas is gradual with localization largely to forearms and thighs. It occurs chiefly in menopausal obese women of middle age and may be familial. Symptoms are asthenia, headache, frequently amenorrhoea and ecchymoses; diminution of sweating. Mental depression and deterioration have been observed in an appreciable number of these patients.

46. Dercum's Disease - From A Patient by Dorrit Hvam, Denmark (a dercum s patient) dercum s disease is a chronic, almostunknown disease, described for the first time by the American neurologist http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/index.php?newsid=5253

47. Adiposis Dolorosa AKA Dercum's Disease These are more extensive, and better edited diary entries of Nunnie, aka Pam Pole, on her road of discovery of dercum's, and extend past the original posts which are replicated on http//dercums_data.tripod.com/nunnie1.html http://www.nunnie.com/dercums.html

I have an extremely rare incurable disease called: Adiposis Dolorosa. It is also known as "Dercum's Disease". So far I have only found about 20 people that have this disease. There is NO cure. There is NO treatment. There is only supportive medications which are mainly pain pills. When this all first started, back on September 23, 1997, it started out as pain in my hands and arms. There was a lot of weakness and my hands and arms were going to sleep. In addition there was a huge lump inside the crook of my elbow on my left arm. It was about the size of a walnut. To just touch it sent me into tears as it was so painful. They thought it was Carpal Tunel, but ruled that out. Then they said it was Over-Use. I hadn't been typing much since September when it hit, and yet I was not getting any better. I had been begging my doctor, Doctor Fillingame, since September to do a biopsy on the first lump and he never would. Then I started asking him to refer me to a specialist and he wouldn't do that either. Since September I developed tumors on both my arms. The one huge lump at the crook of my elbow on my left arm turned into more lumps up the inside of my arm. In addition I developed another huge lump in the crook of the elbow in my right arm. At that point I started getting tumors, multiple tumors daily. They would grow very rapidly. What would start out the size of a pin head would become the size of a peach pit by the end of the day. Each visit I begged and pleaded with my doctor to please do a biopsy or send me to a specialist and he wouldn't.

Dorrit Hvam's homepage about DERCUM'S DISEASE Sign my Guestbook - aka Lipomatosis Dolorosa - aka Adiposis Dolorosa - aka Adipositas Dolorosa - aka Morbus Dercum - aka Dercum's Syndrome Further information Links to other Dercum sites A chronic, almost unknown disease, described for the first time by the American neurologist Francis X. Dercum in 1888. Neither the cause of the disease, nor which sort, is yet known. Most common symptoms: Pain, definite or indefinite swellings or lipomas, weight gain of maybe 50%, fatigue, difficulty in walking. The disease occurs mainly among women and increases with age. In spite of the fact that the disease has been known and described for more than 100 years very little research is going on - a fact that must relate to the disease being so rare. The WHO system of diagnoses ICD-10 places it under the number E 88-2. Please notice that this is a private homepage based only on my personal knowledge and cannot replace any contact with your physician. Originally the primary goal of making this site was to spread information about this disease in Danish as almost nothing is available in Danish regarding this subject. But realizing that also foreigners visit the homepage an English translation has now been added.

49. Cancers Treated This is a doctor's page where he discusses some diseases associated with lipomas. He is a cancer doctor and does not consider dercum's disease fatal. His description appears not to based on first hand experience. http://www.medonc.com/lipomas.htm

Sheehy, M.D. 1401 Avocado #903 Newport Beach, California, 92660, USA Familial Multiple Lipomas This is a condition in which groups of fat cells in the subcutaneous tissues begin to grow spontaneously and produce multiple fatty lumps underneath the skin. These are benign fatty tumors or lipomas. This condition is quite common and is frequently genetic in origin, due to a mutation of the mitochondrial DNA. The presentation of this disease is variable. Most patients have multiple small fatty subcutaneous nodules that are painless. The number of nodules may vary from very few to many. They are mostly located on the arms, forearms, legs and trunk but they can occur in the neck, face and buttocks. In some patients, if neglected, these fatty lumps can grow to a large size and can make the patient appear grotesque. While these lumps are usually painless, in some patients they are painful and if large, they are subcategorized into an entity called . This disease was first described by Dr. F. X. Dercum in 1888, when he found a patient with large painful subcutaneous tumors. The correct medical term is called Adiposis Dolorosa. In this aspect of familial multiple lipomatosis, the fatty lumps are painful. The degree of pain varies from being mild to severe. The cause of the pain is unknown.

50. English Information About Dercums Disease This information is courtesy of the Swedish dercum's Group, explaining some of the frustrations of having this disease. http://hem.passagen.se/dercum/English.html

DERCUM’S DISEASE OR MORBUS (Mb) DERCUM A considerable amount of patients suffering from Mb Dercum have often met with pain during a long time, and also consulted several doctors before finally getting the correct diagnosis. Sometimes the diagnosis ” fibromyalghia ” has been made, but that disease causes an obvious soreness over certain so-called “trigger points”, symmetrically placed above the muscle attachments on both halves of the body. Mb Dercum, however, shows a marked soreness in the flesh in general, and specially in the adipose tissue of the upper arms, the inner thighs and knees, the outer thighs (so-called riding-breeches thighs), the belly and the behind. Therefore the name of ” fat tissue rheumatism” (adiposis dolorosa) has been introduced. Besides, Dercum patients often suffer from extreme pain in the skeleton. Many women (only 5% men) have had to struggle to be believed, not the least by medical service and regional insurance offices. Why? The reason is that the medical service has strictly established routines into which you necessarily have to fit. In case your blood tests should show no abnormalities you will run the risk of being classified as mentally ill. The prescriptions given are often without any effect on these symptoms, and the Dercum patient will most likely be considered as a hypochondriac, ”burnt out”, neurotic or some other suspicious diagnoses.

Presently at Case Western Reserve University, School of Library Science) Does not include data on ordinary obesity, obesity related to endocrine disorders, atrophy or necrosis of subcutaneous fat tissue, etc. **Read First *Read Next ADIPOSE TISSUE (General Information) There is an enormous literature on the type of obesity related to imbalance of caloric intake and energy output and abnormalities of body fat distribution related to certain endocrine disorders. It is well known that the amount and distribution of body fat varies with age, sex and race. By contrast, less attention has been paid to certain disorders characterized by abnormal localized forms of excess adipose tissue. Reading a few selected articles related to basic science concepts and general orientation to the subject of adipose tissue will be helpful. **Wells: Adipose tissue, a neglected subject.
