RESUMEN
La lipoatrofia semicircular de los muslos es una forma de lipodistrofia localizada poco frecuente caracterizada por unas depresiones horizontales semicirculares a modo de banda, asintomáticas, a menudo bilaterales y simétricas localizadas en la cara anterolateral de los muslos. Su etiopatogenia es desconocida, aunque la mayoría de los casos se asocian a traumatismos de repetición. Una nueva hipótesis implicaría como causa los campos electromagnéticos generados por los ordenadores y sus cables en los edificios modernos. Describimos el caso de una mujer de 28 años que presentaba esta entidad relacionada con el uso de pantalones ajustados (AU)
ABSTRACT
Lipoatrophia semicircularis of the thighs is an uncommon form of localized lipodystrophy characterized by horizontal semicircular depressions distributed to form a band. The asymptomatic, often bilateral, and symmetric lesions are localized on the anterolateral aspect of the thighs. The pathogenesis of these lesions is unknown, although most cases are associated with repetitive trauma. A new hypothesis has implicated electromagnetic fields produced by computers and their cables in modern buildings as a cause. We describe a case in a 28-year-old woman of lipoatrophia semicircularis that was related to wearing tight pants (AU)
