| Abstract |
|
The Lipodystropia centrifugalis abdominalis juvenilis (LCAJ) is a skin disorder characterized by
progressive, centrifugal loss of subcutaneous fat on inguinal and/or axillary region. The lesion has
slightly red border and scaly change on it. But other skin manifestations or other organ involvements
are not the feature of the disease. We have experienced 3 cases of LCAJ. They were 7 years 1 month
old body, 9 years 1 month old girl and 7 years 1 month old girl, respectively. Physical examinations
and laboratory findings were non-contributory except for depressed skin on inguinal region. Micro-
scopical examination of the lesions showed decreased subcutaneous fat in all 3 cases. The 1st and 2nd
cases belong to involutional group, while the 3rd case inflammatory group according to Peters and
Winkelmann’s classification1^. During the one year follow up without treatment, the 1st and 2nd cases
improved slightly, but the depressed lesion somewhat enlarged in the 3rd case.
We report three cases of LCAJ with a review of literatures. |
