We report five consecutive patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat leukemia or neuroblastoma early in their lives and later manifested abnormal patterns of adipose tissue distribution. Lipoatrophy was remarkable in the gluteal regions and extremities, whereas subcutaneous fat was preserved in the cheeks, neck, and abdomen. In addition, visceral fat deposition, fatty changes in the liver, and metabolic derangements such as insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia were evident. These features resemble Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy, which is a rare condition caused by LMNA gene mutation. These patients shared a common medical history involving HSCT, including conditioning with total body irradiation (TBI). They also received intensive chemotherapy because of multiple metastases (n = 3), relapse (n = 3), and repetitive HSCT (n = 3). We propose HSCT as a new etiology for acquired partial lipodystrophy and recommend that patients who undergo HSCT with TBI and intensive chemotherapy early in their lives must receive careful observation for the possible development of lipodystrophy and metabolic complications.
