Summary:
We report a case of Subcutaneous Fat Necrosis (SCFN)
of a newborn which is an uncommon disorder, occurs
during the first year of life, and has been attributed to
perinatal stress. SCFN usually has a favorable prognosis,
with complete autoresolution of subcutaneous lesions
within several weeks or months, but it may also be
complicated by serious metabolic alterations such as
hypercalcemia.
Keywords: SCFN, newborn, hypercalcemia.
