Lipodystrophies are rare disorders of adipose tissue metabolism. Two forms are recognised--partial or generalised. Though loss of body fat is a common feature these have been considered mutually exclusive clinical entities making any unifying pathophysiological concept difficult. We report, for the first time, a case of partial lipodystrophy affecting the face which progressed to become generalised.
脂肪营养不良是脂肪组织代谢的罕见疾病。已确认有两种类型——部分性或全身性。尽管身体脂肪减少是一个常见特征，但这些一直被认为是相互排斥的临床实体，这使得任何统一的病理生理概念都难以形成。我们首次报告了一例影响面部的部分性脂肪营养不良病例，该病例进展为全身性脂肪营养不良。
