Abstract:
A 21-year-old female is presented with semicircular lipoatrophy, which had developed since birth with annular depressed strophic lesion of the left thigh. Biopsy specimen from the depressed area of left thigh showed no abnormal pathologic findings. But X-ray and CT scan of the lower extremity revealed remarkably reduced fat layer of the left thigh, compared to the right side.
