title: A case of acquired partial lipodystrophy associated with localized scleroderma and undifferentiated connective tissue disease.
abstract: The authors describe a case of a 43-year-old woman affected by acquired partial lipodystrophy associated with localized scleroderma and undifferentiated connective tissue disease.
