We can speak of a "leading tone diminished"
as from a diminished seventh chord not all notes move and resolve 'shrinking',
but instead one or two notes stay in place when the chord resolves.

A beautiful example of a leading tone diminished is at
the beginning of Schubert's
String Quintet in C major, D 956; you will find a more detailed explanation
of the phenomenon there as well.
