Resumo
Lipodystrophy syndromes are rare heterogeneous disorders characterized by deficiency of adipose tissue, usually a decrease in leptin levels and, frequently, severe metabolic abnormalities including diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. Diagnosis of lipodystrophy is based on clinical history, physical examination, and assessment of body composition, with laboratory findings useful in some cases. This is a case report of a patient presented with several classic features of familial partial lipodystrophy and cardiac complications described in those patients with Dunnigan disease.
