Generalized Lipodystrophy
Labial Hypertrophy
Tonsillar Hypertrophy
Adenoid Hypertrophy
Generalized lipodystrophy is a disorder characterized by loss of adipose tissue and, usually, metabolic disturbance due to deficiency of hormones derived from these tissues, most importantly leptin. Generalized lipodystrophy (GL) may be divided in congenital GL, also known as Berardinelli-Seip syndrome and acquired GL,…[1]

Familial Partial Lipodystrophy
Labial Hypertrophy
Familial partial lipodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder in which progressive loss of subcutaneous fat starts around puberty. Depending on the subtype, loss of fat in the extremities and trunk, with the accumulation of adipose tissue in the head and neck region may be seen. Laboratory tests and imaging studies…[3]
