We describe a typical case of lipodystrophia centrifugalis abdominalis infantilis. This rare disorder is almost exclusively seen in Japanese children. The patient, a 3-year-old girl of Chinese ancestry, had a depressed area of skin in the right groin which gradually spread across the abdomen. The lesion had a distinctive, slightly erythematous, raised border and regional lymphadenopathy was present.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
