Abstract:
We report herein a case of subcutaneous fat necrosis in an 1-month-old abandoned female neonate who had subcutaneous nodule on the right cheek and linear cord-like subcutaneous nodule on the right upper arm which has been evident from the second post-delivery day. Hiatopathologic findings revealed massive subcutaneous fat necroais with infiltration of foreign body giant cells and inflammatory cells. Calcigm was also deposited but no needle shaped cleft was formed in the fat cells. The akin lesion resolved spontaneously after 2 months.
