A 15-year-old boy developed two, almost symmetric, asymptomatic, depressed plaques, localized to both buttocks after receiving a single intramuscular corticosteroid injection in his right buttock for treatment of lumbar pain. He suffered from asthma since early childhood, and had been repeatedly treated with corticosteroid injections for many years as a young child. A skin biopsy from both lesions was performed, showing a decrease in the number and size of adipocytes. We describe a case of acquired localized lipoatrophy with a particular bilateral distribution secondary to a single intramuscular corticosteroid injection.
一名15岁男孩在右臀部接受单次肌肉注射皮质类固醇以治疗腰痛后，双侧臀部出现了两个几乎对称、无症状的凹陷性斑块。他自幼患有哮喘，小时候曾多次接受皮质类固醇注射治疗多年。对两个皮损进行了皮肤活检，结果显示脂肪细胞数量和大小减少。我们报告一例因单次肌肉注射皮质类固醇继发的具有特殊双侧分布的获得性局限性脂肪萎缩病例。
