The introduction of potent new antiretroviral drugs, particularly protease inhibitors, has had an important impact on morbidity and survival in HIV-infected individuals. However, an increasing number of complications associated with these regimens have been recognized. Recently, the appearance of subcutaneous lipomas and angiolipomas shortly after starting treatment with antiretroviral therapy, including indinavir, has been described [1, 2]. We would like to report on one HIV-positive patient who presented with eruptive angiolipomas, probably induced by saquinavir.A 49-year-old woman, HIV-positive since 1993, presented at our department in March 1999. She referred to the appearance, 5 years before, of a subcutaneous nodule on the right thigh, and a new nodule on the left thigh the following year. Since then, the lesions have remained stable. Eight months before the consultation, she had noticed the relatively sudden appearance of six more slightly tender nodules on the right hip and both thighs, and a simultaneous increase in the size of the previous lesions. These changes coincided with a progressive body fat redistribution. The patient had been treated since 1996 with zidovudine, zalcitabine and didanosine. Because of the inefficacy of the therapy, a new regimen with stavudine (30 mg twice a day), lamivudine (150 mg twice a day) and the protease inhibitor saquinavir (600 mg every 8 h) was started 3 months before the previously mentioned changes in the nodules and the subcutaneous fat.
