This study details a rare case of membranous lipodystrophy in a 35-year-old woman, presenting with dementia and bone cysts. Biochemical tests were normal, suggesting a potential link to connective tissue disorders.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Radiology
Histopathology

Background:

Membranous lipodystrophy, also known as lipomembranous polycystic osteodysplasia, is a rare condition.
This case highlights a unique presentation without typical skeletal symptoms.

Observation:

A 35-year-old housewife presented with progressive dementia.
Brain CT revealed basal ganglia calcification; bone X-rays showed distal extremity cystic lesions.
Histopathology of talus bone cyst demonstrated a 'membranocystic' pattern.

Findings:

Biochemical analysis of fatty tissue and lysosomal enzymes in white blood cells were within normal limits.
The patient's primary symptom was neurological, specifically dementia.

Implications:
