Abstract
- Semicircular lipoatrophy is a rare condition, which presents as a bandlike semicircular depression, 2-4cm in width on the anterolateral aspects of the thighs. Histopathologic examination shows an atrophy of the subcutaneous fat. We report a case of semicircular lipoatrophy, which occured on both thighs of 47-year-old woman with asymptomatic, band-like atrophy.
