Fat redistribution

Changes in body fat distribution, sometimes referred to as "lipodystrophy syndrome" or "fat redistribution syndrome," have been observed in patients taking antiretroviral medications (but are not necessarily caused by antiretrovirals). Changes may include abdominal fat accumulation, fat accumulation over the back of the neck ("buffalo hump"), wasting of legs and arms with prominence of the veins, facial thinning, and breast enlargement. See Lipodystrophy.
