Madelung disease is rare, and characterised by accumulation of fatty non-encapsulated tissue in the head, neck, shoulders, and upper extremities. The aetiology is not completely known, but the association with alcohol intake is clear. We present a neglected case that was associated with bilateral asymmetrical gynaecomastia. To the best of our knowledge, this is a pattern of involvement not previously reported. The treatment of choice is lipectomy for severe cases and liposuction for less extensive accumulations of fat.
