Abstract: Familial multiple lipomatosis (FML) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the progressive development of encapsulated nodules predominantly on the trunk and extremities. Its genetic basis is linked to HMGA-2 gene over-expression. The condition is diagnosed via clinical history, ultrasound findings, and histological studies, and management mainly comprises surgical excision. This case report highlights the clinical characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and management of FML in a 38-year-old male.
