Abstract

A 45-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with syncope. Her medical history revealed a diagnosis of Familial Partial Lipodystrophy 2 (FPLD2). The patient's electrocardiogram showed a complete atrioventricular (A-V) block, and she had a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and coronary artery bypass surgery. A severe stenosis was observed in the aortic right coronary artery saphenous vein graft during coronary angiography, which was successfully revascularized. Subsequently, due to persistant syncope attacks, a permanent pacemaker was implanted after an electrophysiological study. This case highlights that serious cardiac conduction defects in patients with FPLD2 may not only be related to coronary artery disease but can also present as direct conduction defects.

Abstract

We experienced a case of primary intestinal follicular lymphoma and premature atherosclerosis in a diabetic patient with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) that was detected when the patient was evaluated for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). As FPL is generally considered to be rare, FPL is often underdiagnosed, especially in obese patients. Therefore, the prevalence of FPL is higher than previous estimates. Our case illustrates that clinicians should perform screening for atherosclerosis and malignancy at the preoperative evaluation and may need to perform metabolic surgery earlier to prevent the development of excess truncal fat, complicated diabetes and atherosclerosis in patients with FPL.
