RESUMO
Semicircular lipoatrophy is a rare entity characterized by atrophic cutaneous indentation, typically involving the anterolateral thigh of young women. Although many previous reports have failed to reveal underlying trauma histories, repeated external microtraumas seem to be the most plausible causal factor at present. We report a case of semicircular lipoatrophy which occurred on both thighs of a 23-year-old woman after she started a new job as a waitress in fast-food restaurant.

Semicircular lipoatrophy is an apparently rare disease that primarily affects adult woman. The lesion is characterized by a band-like semicircular depression, 2-4cm in width on the anterolateral aspects of the thighs. The overlying skin is normal. Usually, there are no subjective symptoms. There is no treatment, but most cases resolve in a few years. We experienced a typical case of semicircular lipoatrophy in a 43 years old woman. The patient showed an unilateral semicircular depressed lesion on the anterolateral aspect of the right thigh. Histopathologically, the lesion exhibited decrease in size of the individual adipocytes. The lesion resolved after 9 months without treatment.

A 21-year-old female is presented with semicircular lipoatrophy, which had developed since birth with annular depressed strophic lesion of the left thigh. Biopsy specimen from the depressed area of left thigh showed no abnormal pathologic findings. But X-ray and CT scan of the lower extremity revealed remarkably reduced fat layer of the left thigh, compared to the right side.
