Abstract

Lipodystrophy is a medical condition characterized by complete or partial loss of adipose tissue. The etiology of lipoatrophy can be congenital or acquired, including traumatic, iatrogenic, or idiopathic. Rarely, vaccination can cause lipodystrophy. Here, we report the first case of lipodystrophy associated with the COVID-19 Sinopharm vaccine in a 55-year-old woman. © 2024
