We present a case of multiple symmetric lipomatosis Type I (Madelung's disease) with severe organic affection, hepatic cirrhosis, sever sensitive polyneuropathy and neuropathic ulceration at the left lower limb. A nephrotic syndrome developed in a larval form due to proliferative glomerulonephritis as the result of a metainfectious complications of the infection at the lower limb. We discuss the etiopathogenicity of the organic affection and we highlight the pathogenic links between the disease and its complications.
