Adenolipomectosis (adenolepomatosis) is a rare hereditary disease that is characterized by the accumulation of lipids (fats) and fat cells in various organs and tissues. This process occurs due to a mutation in the LRBA gene, which controls the breakdown of fats and their removal from the body. Mutations can be either hereditary or acquired, for example after radiation therapy for cancer.
Symptoms of adenolipomectosis can appear at any age, from infancy to adulthood. With this disease, patients may experience various symptoms, such as:
- increase in adipose tissue in joints, bones, eyes, muscles and other organs; - increased body weight, obesity; - diabetes; - diseases of the cardiovascular system; - hypothyroidism, enlarged thyroid gland; - vision problems; - cholelithiasis. In some cases, adenolipomectoma may be associated with an increased risk of cancer. Examination and treatment of adenolipomesote should only be carried out under the supervision of an experienced physician. Adenolipomector is expressed differently in each case. In some cases it can be asymptomatic, in others it can lead to serious complications and even death, so in all cases it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner and obtain the necessary medical examination.
Adenolipomatosis
Adenolipoma (Latin adenolipoma from adeno - glandular tissue + lipom - adipose tissue) is a rare benign neoplasm consisting of connective tissue and glands that produce sebum (or rather a specific secretion - premass) and fat cells. There are known cases of the so-called Virchow triad - the formation of an adenoma from a premass of iron and adipose tissue.
In humans, adenolymphomatosis is extremely rare (the Oxford Handbook of Diseases states that no more than 0.25% of the population is affected by adenolipoma) and occurs more often in men than in women. Adenomyphomas are usually diagnosed after 40 years of age, most often with the onset of menopause. They are exclusively the preserve of the white race, not blacks. Also adenomyo
