A case of semicircular lipoatrophy, a rare form of localized lipoatrophy, is described in a 33-year-old woman. No precipitating factors such as trauma could be elicited by questioning. However, the patient subsequently realized that she had unwittingly been subjected to repeated daily trauma as she pressed the affected thigh against the edge of the wash bowl while applying make-up. This case thus supports a possible mechanical basis for this rare entity, and demonstrates the importance of taking a careful history in the search for the possible occurrence of minor episodes of trauma in such cases.
本文描述了一名33岁女性患半环形脂肪萎缩的病例，半环形脂肪萎缩是一种罕见的局限性脂肪萎缩形式。通过询问未发现诸如创伤等诱发因素。然而，患者随后意识到，她在化妆时将患侧大腿靠在洗脸盆边缘，不知不觉中每天都受到反复创伤。因此，该病例支持了这种罕见病症可能存在的机械性病因基础，并表明在这类病例中仔细询问病史以探寻可能发生的轻微创伤事件的重要性。
