Abstract
An otherwise healthy woman aged 28 had symmetrical band-shaped dents on both thighs. She worked as a secretary; several female colleagues showed identical lesions. An investigation showed that the arrangement of the office equipment combined with sharp-edged desk tops caused these abnormalities. The diagnosis made read 'semicircular lipoatrophy caused by repetitive leaning against a desk'. This is probably a common problem, although it rarely leads to consultation of a dermatologist
