    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Presents a case series of 11 young women diagnosed with lipoatrophia semicircularis.
    • Highlights the characteristic clinical presentation of thigh dents.

    Purpose:

    • To describe lipoatrophia semicircularis as a distinct disease entity.
    • To discuss differential diagnosis from similar subcutaneous fat atrophy conditions.
    • To explore potential causes and pathogenesis.

    Summary:

    • Reports on 11 cases of lipoatrophia semicircularis, a condition featuring band-like, circular atrophy of subcutaneous fat on the thighs.
    • Emphasizes the importance of clinical, histological, and disease course evaluation for differentiation, particularly from lipoatrophia annularis.

    Impact:

    • Contributes to the understanding and recognition of lipoatrophia semicircularis in dermatological practice.
    • Aids clinicians in differentiating this condition from other forms of fat atrophy.
    • Provides a basis for future etiological and pathogenetic research.
