Corticosteroid-induced lipodystrophy (CIL) is a condition of abnormal fat deposition caused by corticosteroid medications. Fat accumulates in the facial area, dorsocervical region, and abdominal area, whereas the thickness of subcutaneous fat in the limbs is decreased. The resulting appearance has been described as "Cushingoid", in relation to the fact that it also occurs in individuals with Cushing's syndrome.
