- Abstract
Lipodystrophies are a widespread group of genetic or acquired metabolic disorders that are characterized by varying degrees of body fat loss. The Barraquer-Simons syndrome also called Acquired Partial Lipodistrophy is a form of partial lipodistrophy of unknown etiology, characterised by the loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue, limited to upper part of the body. Also it can be associated with hypocomplementemia, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia. In this paper a 34-year-old woman with progresive loss of subcutaneous fat limited to upper arm, which was developed after pregnancy, is reported and literature was reviewed.
