Abstract
Lipoatrophia semicircularis is a rare condition manifested by semicircularly horizontal depressions on the anterolateral aspects of the thighs. Most of the patients are females. Previous literature has shown that repeated external trauma is the most plausible explanation, though in some cases, no underlying traumatic mechanisms are found. We herein report a case of lipoatrophia semicircularis in a female patient who has noticed this condition for two months. The clinical history revealed repetitive pressure on her thighs during the work. Previous reports in the literature are reviewed.
