Dercumâs disease, also known as adiposis dolorosa, is a rare disorder characterized by multiple, painful growths consisting of fatty tissue, called lipomas. They mainly occur on the trunk, the upper arms and upper legs and are found just below the skin.
Onset of PLS usually occurs spontaneously after age 50 and progresses gradually over a number of years, or even decades. The disorder usually begins in the legs, but it may start in the tongue or the hands. Symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, and clumsiness.
