Abstract: A novel manifestation of HIV-associated lipoaccumulation is described and the prevalence of and risk factors for development of pubic lipomas (PLs) is evaluated. The results show that PL is the latest manifestation of HIV-associated lipoaccumulation that is more likely to occur among those with coexisting dorsocervical fat pads, indicating the possibility of a common pathogenesis between the 2 entities.
