Annular lipoatrophy of the ankles

“…Annular lipoatrophy most resembles atrophic connective tissue disease panniculitis, and it has been suggested that annular lipoatrophy of the ankles may indeed simulate the end stage of atrophic connective tissue disease panniculitis. 4,5 Other entities in the differential diagnosis of the localized form of lipoatrophy include abdominal lipoatrophy, semicircular lipoatrophy, and postinjection localized lipoatrophy. 6 Our patient had ring-like bands of lipoatrophy encircling the ankles and associated thyroid disease.…”

Lipoatrophie annulaire des chevilles traitée par autogreffe de tissu graisseux : à propos d’un cas et revue de la littérature

“…Ainsi, ont été notés une augmentation de la pilosité localement [7], des nodules inflammatoires qui ont régressé sans atrophie, au niveau de la face antérieure et interne des cuisses et de la mandibule [9], une lipoatrophie annulaire des chevilles associée à des lésions lipoatrophiques au niveau des fesses et de la face postérieure d'une cuisse [8].…”

Localized Lipoatrophia with Persistent Circulating Autoantibodies and Partial Immunoglobulin A Deficiency in a Child

“…5 entities need to be discussed in our case: lupus pan niculitis [4], connective tissue panniculitis described by Peters and Winkelmann [5], lipodystrophia ccntrifugalis abdominalis in fantilis (LCAI) [6]. annular atrophic panni culitis of the ankles [7,8], LA semicircularis of the thighs [9].…”

“…However, no autoimmune abnormality has ever been reported in LCAI. annular atrophic panniculitis of the ankles, and LA semicircularis of the thighs [7][8][9]. Neverthe less.…”
