This systematic review and case report of IPD-1 lipodystrophies describes a patient who received nivolumab treatment for advanced clear cell renal carcinoma and subsequently developed diabetes as well as facial and body lipodystrophy. The patient complained of social distress due to her facial appearance. We treated […]

Due to its low frequency there is no well-established management for this disease. We report the case of a 61 year-old man with small cell carcinoma of the bladder who underwent radical cystectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We also reviewed the literature for the optimal […]
