Hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and abnormalities of glucose homeostasis are commonly described among these patients. Hyperinsulinemia is also involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome, a condition, described rarely in patients with lipodystrophy. Here, we describe 2 females of partial lipodystrophy who presented with features of polycystic ovarian disease. Both had severe hyperinsulinemia and irregular periods, one had hyperandrogenism and hirsuitism while the other was non-hirsuite.
