Abstract

We have described subcutaneous encapsulated fat necrosis, which is benign, usually asymptomatic and underreported. Images have only been published on two earlier occasions, in which the necrotic nodules appear "pearly" than the cloudy yellow surface in present case. The presented image may help future surgeons to establish the diagnosis peroperatively.

Keywords: fat tissue; ischemia; subcutaneous encapsulated fat necrosis; trauma; treatment.
