Abstract

Barraquer-Simons syndrome, also called acquired partial lipodystrophy or cephalothoracic lipodystrophy, is a rare form of progressive lipodystrophy, characterized by symmetrical lipoatrophy of subcutaneous adipose tissue starting in the head and spreading to the thorax, upper and lower limbs and thighs. In this work, we report the case of a patient with Barraquer-Simons syndrome without systemic complications.
