    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Lipodystrophia centrifugalis abdominalis infantilis (LCAI) is a rare condition.
    • Previously, LCAI cases were exclusively reported in Japan.

    Observation:

    • A 7-year-old Chinese boy presented with abdominal skin lesions.
    • The lesions exhibited localized depression, centrifugal progression, and an erythematous scaling edge.
    • Subcutaneous fat was notably decreased in the depressed abdominal regions.

    Findings:

    • This case represents the first occurrence of LCAI outside of Japan.
    • The patient displayed classical clinical features of LCAI.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the known geographic distribution of LCAI.
    • It highlights the need for increased awareness of LCAI in pediatric dermatology globally.
    • Further research is warranted to understand potential genetic or environmental factors contributing to LCAI.
