title: [Partial progressive lipoatrophy. A new case-report (author's transl)].
abstract: A new case of lipoatrophic diabetes with some peculiar features is reported. The disease was acquired, with onset at approximately thirty years of age, and partial, involving only the face and the upper limbs. The authors were able to observe the successive occurrence of the various symptoms: progressive lipoatrophy, hyperinsulinism, insulin-resistant diabetes, major lipid disturbances, and finally renal failure with a nephrotic syndrome and high blood pressure. Nosologic borders and physiopathology are discussed with a review of the literature.
