Benign symmetric lipomatosis with myelomeningocele in an adolescent: An uncommon association-case report

The authors report an unusual localization of symmetric adipose tumors associated with spinal dysraphism. Initially, the patient underwent a closure of the lumbosacral myelomeningocele. At that time, the tumors were not evident and remained undiscovered up until puberty. However, during puberty, the symmetric lipomatous masses grew at the perineal region. Except the patient's age, all findings and the clinical picture supported the diagnosis of a benign symmetric lipomatosis (BSL). To the authors' knowledge, the following case has not been described previously.
