AB Lipodystrophy  is  a  general  term  that  defines  a  group  of  disorders  that  are  characterized  by  generalized  or  partial  loss  of  adipose  tissue  in  different  areas  of  the  body.  Medical  conditions  associated  with  this  disorder  can  either  be  acquired  or  inherited.  The  degree  of  severity  and  the  specific  areas  of  the  body  affected  can  vary  greatly  among  lipodystrophies.  Individuals  affected  with  this  disease  present  a  variety  of  symptoms  ranging  from  cosmetic  to  life-threatening  complications.  The  loss  of  adipose  tissue  is  often  referred  to  lipoatrophy  rather  than  lipodystrophy  by  some  physicians.
