Abstrakt: BACKGROUND. Recently, liposuction surgery has been widely accepted for body contouring or other noncosmetic applications, including lipoma and angiolipomatosis. OBJECTIVE. We treated a case of multiple angiolipomas at 49 years of age to confirm the utility of liposuction. METHODS. Liposuction under general anesthesia was performed for angiolipomas distributed over the trunk. RESULTS. The patient has been followed for 2 years without recurrence. CONCLUSION. We believe that liposuction is a safe and easy method of removing multiple angiolipomas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
