Description : Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) is a rare disorder characterized by the growth
of uncapsulated masses of adipose tissue. It is associated with high ethanol intake
and may be complicated by somatic and autonomic neuropathy and by the infiltration
of the adipose tissue at the mediastinal level (summary by Enzi et al., 2002).;
