Abstract:
Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is a rare, benign disease usually found in full-term infants. It occurs usually in a few weeks after birth, as one or multiple indurated nodules or plaques on the fat pads-rich fraction of the body and disappeared after few weeks to months. Complications such as hypercalcemia, pain, lipid abnormalities (dyslipidemia), renal failure, and subcutaneous atrophy may occur. We report a case of subcutaneous fat necrosis associated with hypoglycemia and meconium aspiration syndrome in the term infant and review the associated literatures.
