ORPHA:199276Disease
What it is
A rare genetic subcutaneous tissue disease characterized by slow growth of numerous, painless, encapsulated lipomas located predominantly in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of the trunk and limbs, with relative sparing of the head, neck and shoulders. Clinical presentation mostly becomes evident in the third decade where a significant increase in size and number of lipomas is observed. At this stage they may cause discomfort and difficulty in performing daily physical tasks, otherwise they remain painless.

Signs and symptoms
These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.
ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
