How to Tell Madelung from Regular Lipoma?

October 21, 2009
Asked By:serene in denver

I am 41 yo male. I workout, eat well and do drink wine quite often. My dad had madelung disease but never knew how he handled it.I started getting Lipomas 8 months ago along with a gain of 30 lbs in weight. It was after getting off Cymbalta. I now have 6 Lipomas, some tender when touched, others not. I am concerned that they could get big. The doctor said it's limpoma, but how can they know it's not Madelung? Not sure what to do. Any help? Cheers.
