Dercum Disease is a rare disorder characterized by multiple, painful fatty deposits (lipomas), primarily on the trunk, forearms, and lower legs. It is associated with pain that may be caused by these deposits pressing on nearby nerves. This disorder usually occurs in obese females between the ages of 45 and 60. Various areas of the body may swell for no apparent reason. The swelling may disappear without treatment, leaving hardened tissue or pendulous skin folds. In some cases, affected individuals may also experience depression, lethargy, and/or confusion. American Chronic Pain Association

The onset is insidious, and the pain is out of proportion to the physical findings and is often described by patients as all fat hurts. The pain increases with the increase in fatty tissue and in connection to menstruation. Estrogen at menopause does not reduce the pain. Since the original description of this disease, the clinical spectrum has changed to include, in addition to the painful nodular fatty deposits, other components of adiposis dolorosa. General obesity; fatigability; weakness; and a wide variety of unexplained emotional disturbances, such as depression, confusion, and dementia, are reported. This observation is why Dercum disease has been proposed to be relabeled as Dercum syndrome (Palmer, 1981). Adiposis dolorosa is a disease that has been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO), and a paraphrase from the National Organization of Rare Diseases (NORD) says Dercum Disease is a rare disorder in which there are fatty deposits which apply pressure to the nerves, resulting in weakness and pain. Various areas of the body may swell for no apparent reason. The swelling may disappear without treatment, leaving hardened tissue or pendulous skin folds.
