    A lipomatose simĂ©trica mĂșltipla Ă© uma doença benigna rara, sendo encontrada mais em homens entre 30 e 60 anos de idade, bem como estĂĄ associada ao etilismo crĂŽnico. O diagnĂłstico Ă© realizado pelo exame clĂ­nico e complementares, nas quais tem como padrĂŁo ouro a tomografia computadorizada (TC), sendo ela importante tambĂ©m para estadiamento prĂ©-operatĂłrio e acompanhamento pĂłs-cirĂșrgico. Os achados da ressonĂąncia magnĂ©tica (RM) se sobrepĂ”em, contudo, ela Ă© mais cara e menos acessĂ­vel. O presente estudo objetivou relatar um caso da Doença de Madelung, definida clinicamente pela presença de mĂșltiplos acĂșmulos de tecido adiposo nĂŁo encapsulados, em regiĂŁo de abdĂŽmen, tĂłrax e membros superiores (braços). Para confirmação do diagnĂłstico, foi solicitado TC de abdome total, membros superiores e tĂłrax, na qual encontrada acentuação do tecido adiposo subcutĂąneo em diferentes regiĂ”es do corpo do paciente. AlĂ©m disso, no laudo histopatolĂłgico conclui que a lesĂŁo em questĂŁo tratava-se de um lipoma. Sendo assim, associando clĂ­nica, exame fĂ­sico e exames complementares foi confirmado o diagnĂłstico de SĂ­ndrome de Madelung.

    International audienceSignificance There is growing evidence that preexisting autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons (IFNs) are strong determinants of life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia. It is important to estimate their quantitative impact on COVID-19 mortality upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, by age and sex, as both the prevalence of these autoantibodies and the risk of COVID-19 death increase with age and are higher in men. Using an unvaccinated sample of 1,261 deceased patients and 34,159 individuals from the general population, we found that autoantibodies against type I IFNs strongly increased the SARS-CoV-2 infection fatality rate at all ages, in both men and women. Autoantibodies against type I IFNs are strong and common predictors of life-threatening COVID-19. Testing for these autoantibodies should be considered in the general population
