Abstract
Subcutaneous fat necrosis is rarely seen in the first weeks of life in newborns born with obstetric complications. It often shows a benign course and heals without complications. Metabolic complications, especially hypercalcemia, may accompany the lesions throughout the clinical course. Herein, we report a term newborn with an atypical course of subcutaneous fat necrosis, whose lesions progressed to a hemorrhagic, bullous character and subcutaneous necrosis with an abscess-like appearance and content.
