Annular lipoatrophy of the ankle: Four new pediatric cases and a review of the literature

Timila Assia Touhouche et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2021 Sep.

Abstract

Annular lipoatrophy of the ankle is a rare and unique acquired lipoatrophic panniculitis that mainly affects children. There is no consensus on treatment, and the long-term course is not well known. We present four new pediatric cases that contribute to the understanding of this rare disease.

Keywords: connective tissue disorder; lipodystrophy; panniculitis; subcutaneous tissue.
