Abstract
A 7-year-old Caucasian girl developed lipoatrophic areas on the abdome n and left thigh. Laboratory tests showed a partial IgA deficiency, ci rculating autoantibodies (ANAs, double- and single-stranded anti-DNAs, rheumatoid factor). The clinical aspect resembles lipodystrophia cent rifugalis abdominalis infantilis, but autoimmune abnormalities suggest connective tissue panniculitis which underlines the overlap between t he different forms of localized lipoatrophias.
