Abstract
A case of diffuse lipomatosis is reported. A 54-year-old man presented with a large mass in the left gluteal region. Plain radiographs showed hyperostosis of the phalanx of the left third toe. The diagnosis was aided by magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography which clearly demonstrated a diffuse overgrowth of fatty tissue in the left buttock and the extremity involving the subcutaneous and gluteal muscular tissue.
