Abstract
congenital diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis of the face (cdil-f) is a rare clinicopathological entity with an unknown etiology, in which mature adipose tissue infiltrates the soft tissue structures in one side, and causes considerable asymmetry. herein, we report a case of cdil-f who underwent many surgical procedures without definite diagnosis during 12 years. cdil-f presents symptoms with various severity levels due to infiltration of adipose tissue that makes removal difficult. thus, it is recommended to inform patients about the high rate of recurrence.
