Abstract:
We report a case of lipodystrophia centrifugalis abdomina]is infantilis in a 2 year 5 month male. At age 7 months, his parents noticed a bluish macule in the right inguinal region, which gradually became depressed and increased in size over a year to involve the abdomen and flank bilaterally. Regional lymph nodes were enlarged. Biopsy showed absence of subcutaneous fat in the affected area.
