Abstract:
We present cases of localized idiopathic lipoatrophy occurring in two women. A 19-year-old girl had symmetrically distributed annular telangiectatic atrophy on both buttocks and a 44-year-old female had annular telangiectatic atrophy on the right buttock. The histopathologic findings of these lesions revealed numerous capillaries, various sized lobules with small round or spindle shaped cells on a background of hyaline material in subcutaneous layer. Two cases of lipoatrophy which shows the involutional phase are reported.
