Myositis associated with localized lipodystrophy: an unrecognized condition?
European Journal of Medical Research 2009 May 15
Lipodystrophies represent a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by altered body fat repartition and often metabolic alterations. Here we illustrate a 20 year old male with myositis in association with localized lipodystrophy. Immunohistochemical stainings revealed a regular pattern of dystrophin, dysferlin, sarcoglycans, and theletonin. Furtermore, there was no evidence of Lamin A/C deficiency. A nearly identical clinical and histological picture has been described in three patients up to now. Although it is difficult to speculate on a causative pathophysiological mechanism at this time, it is possible that this association represents an unrecognized condition.
