Abstract:
Nodular-cystic fat necrosis is an unusual, distinctive entity characterized by histologically en-capsulated fat necrosis in the subcutis. We report two cases of nodular-cystic fat necrosis. The lesions were subcutaneous nodules. Histopathologically, the nodules showed strong periodic acid-Schiff -positive necrotic adipose tissue with lipomembranous changes and calcification.
