Article Abstract
Lipodystrophy is characterized by abnormal fat distribution and has a broad range of etiologic associations. We present a case of a young Afro-Caribbean female to highlight the clinical features of bone marrow transplant-associated partial lipodystrophy. This review examines and provides diagnostic recommendations for discerning lipodystrophy and its potential cause and also provides follow-up guidance in those diagnosed with bone marrow transplant-associated partial lipodystrophy. We utilize this case to highlight the clinical implications of lipodystrophy and create awareness of this as a potential outcome in childhood cancer survivors.
