    This case study details acquired lipoatrophic diabetes, a rare condition characterized by fat loss, insulin resistance, and severe metabolic complications. The report highlights the progressive development of symptoms, including kidney failure, in a unique patient presentation.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Lipoatrophic diabetes is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by generalized or partial loss of adipose tissue.
    • Acquired forms are less common than congenital ones, presenting unique diagnostic and management challenges.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of acquired, partial lipoatrophic diabetes with onset around age 30 is presented.
    • Symptoms progressed over time, involving facial and upper limb fat loss.
    • The patient exhibited hyperinsulinism, insulin-resistant diabetes, and significant lipid abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrates a sequential development of severe metabolic complications, including renal failure with nephrotic syndrome.
    • High blood pressure was a notable comorbidity in the advanced stages of the disease.

  • This presentation offers insights into the complex pathophysiology of lipoatrophic diabetes.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding the nosologic borders and physiopathology of such rare conditions is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • This case contributes to the literature, aiding in the recognition and management of atypical lipoatrophic diabetes.
    • Further research into the underlying mechanisms can inform therapeutic strategies for metabolic and renal complications.
