| Adiposis dolorosa : Adiposis dolorosa is a condition that is characterized by painful fatty (adipose) tissue just underneath the skin (subcutaneous). The pain is often associated with multiple noncancerous (benign) tumors called lipomas. Adiposis dolorosa occurs most often in women between the ages of 35 and 50 who are overweight or have obesity. Adiposis dolorosa affects the adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is found in many parts of the body. It stores fat for energy and provides support for the body’s structures. In some individuals, lipomas develop within the adipose tissue. These lipomas can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most often found on the torso, buttocks, or the upper arms and legs. The lipomas in people with adiposis dolorosa usually feel like firm bumps (nodules) underneath the skin and tend to be painful. The pain can be severe, particularly if the lipomas are pressing on a nearby nerve. In some people, the pain is disabling. People with adiposis dolorosa may experience additional signs and symptoms. However, these features do not occur in all people with adiposis dolorosa, and it is unclear whether they are directly related to the condition. Researchers are working to learn more about the signs and symptoms of this condition. | |
