Abstract

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SCFN) is a rare noninfectious type of panniculitis, which primarily affects term and postterm infants. It is usually a benign, self-limiting condition, but in rare cases can be complicated by hypercalcemia, hypoglycemia, thrombocytopenia, etc. We report a case of SCFN in a 4-week-old male infant, treated successfully without complications.
