These lipomas typically develop symmetrically on the neck, shoulders, upper arms, and upper trunk. Although there aren't many synonyms for this specific medical term, some phrases that can be used to describe this condition include familial multiple lipomatosis, Launois-Bensaude syndrome, diffuse lipomatosis, or lipomatosis cervicis colli.
