abstract: Barraquer-Simons syndrome, also called acquired partial lipodystrophy or cephalothoracic lipodystrophy, is a rare form of progressive lipodystrophy, characterized by symmetrical lipoatrophy of subcutaneous adipose tissue starting in the head and spreading to the thorax, upper and lower limbs and thighs.
