Familial partial lipodystrophy, Kobberling type, is a very rare form of familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) of unknown etiology characterized by lipoatrophy that is confined to the limbs and a normal or increased fat distribution of the face, neck, and trunk. Arterial hypertension and diabetes have also been associated. Inheritance is thought to be autosomal dominant.
