Adiposis dolorosa is an outdated term for many years used synonymously as Dercum's disease, lipedema or Anders disease.[1] While there are numerous references to adiposis dolorosa, it is recommended that the term no longer be used. Dercum's is now recognized as a separate condition, as is lipedema.[2][3]
