Mersin University Endocrinology and Metabolism, Mersin, Turkey.
A 21-year-old female (height: 148 cm, weight: 38 kg, and BMI: 17) was referred to our endocrinology outpatient polyclinic with the complaints of severe abdominal pain and severe hypertriglyceridemia. The patient’s medical history revealed diabetes and FMF. Physical examination revealed a marked loss of subcutaneous fat from the extremities leading to prominence of muscular contours and veins, with excess fat around the face, submental and dorsocervical region. Despite the technical limitations which hindered us making diagnosis of FPLD1, the metabolic profile, existence of type 2 diabetes, hepatic steatosis and lack of subcutaneous fat and cushingoid appearence were consistent with FPLD1.
