Benign skin tumors arising from the adipose and muscle tissue

Abstract

Benign skin tumors arising from the adipose tissue (Derkum’s disease, Madelung’s disease, symmetrical lipomatosis) and the muscle tissue (leiomyoma) are rarely seen at a dermatological appointment, which creates diagnostic difficulties for practicing dermatologists. To improve diagnostic performance, the authors provide brief clinical descriptions and original images of these tumors.

Keywords
