hunan - A 68-year-old man who poured a liter of liquor every day for more than 25 years has developed a bizarre skin disease.

Tan from the Chinese province of Hunan began drinking at the age of three. From the age of forty, consumption went up considerably. Even before his fiftieth birthday, the Chinese discovered big fat bones on his upper body, writes the site Kankannews. Only years later did he find a doctor who advised him to come back if he had breathing difficulties or extreme pain.

Only recently did he go to another doctor for a second opinion. In the Hunan provincial hospital he received the exhte diagnosis: symmetrical lipomatosis, also known as Madelung's disease, after a German surgeon who first recorded the abnormality.

Patients get huge fat outbursts around the neck and shoulders. The rare disease almost exclusively occurs in middle-aged men with a substantial drinking history. Worldwide only four hundred cases have been recorded.
