We report a patient with extensive lipomatosis involving both the ileum and mesentery. Axial computed tomographic images showed that diffuse and multiple intramural masses of fat densities compressed the ileum interior and abundant mesenteric fat compressed the retroperitoneum. Coronal magnetic resonance images showed thumbprinting of fluid containing ileum caused by fat-intensity masses.

Article Synopsis
- Madelung disease is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue in various body areas, primarily affecting individuals from Mediterranean and Eastern European backgrounds, with significantly lower prevalence in Asia.
- The condition is associated with several comorbidities, including diabetes and polyneuropathy, and can lead to severe complications, particularly postoperative hypercoagulability, which increases the risk of serious issues like venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
- This study presents a specific case of type II Madelung disease with significant complications during surgery, while also reviewing existing literature to highlight the disease's features and potential treatment methods, aiming to improve future clinical approaches and reduce surgery-related risks.

Background: Lumbar spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare condition characterized by the pathological proliferation of adipose tissue in the epidural space of the spinal canal. This study presents the case of a 59-year-old male with lumbar SEL treated effectively in the short term through arthroscopic-assisted uniportal spinal surgery (AUSS) combined with a modified circle-drawing unilateral laminotomy with bilateral decompression (ULBD) technique.
Methods: A modified circle-drawing ULBD procedure was executed via AUSS for a patient with SEL.

Introduction: Spinal Epidural Lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare disorder of pathological overgrowth of the spinal epidural fat in the extradural space. The pathogenesis of SEL usually involves exogenous steroid use or endogenous steroids overproduction. However, idiopathic cases have been reported.

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJA) secondary to congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face (CILF) is an exceptionally uncommon condition which is characterized by the involvement of unilateral facial soft tissues and bones. In some cases, the extensive exophytic bony growth in the temporomandibular joint region often extends toward the skull base and lies near adjacent vital structures. Only very few cases of TMJA associated with CILF have been reported in the literature.

Background: Congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal nevi, spinal/skeletal anomalies, and/or scoliosis (CLOVES) syndrome is the most recently described combined vascular anomaly characterized by congenital excessive growth of adipose tissue, vascular malformations, epidermal nevi, and skeletal deformities. This condition exhibits a significant variability in clinical manifestations and a tendency for rapid progression and affects extensive anatomical regions. Information regarding the association of epidural lipomatosis with low-flow venous lymphatic malformations is rare, with few reports in the literature.
