Abstract
- Membranous fat necrosis is a variant of fat necrosis characterized by the presence of membranocystic foci which is lined by eosinophilic, homogeneous and crenulated membrane that has pseudopapillary projections. Membranous fat necrosis may be idiopathic or has been associated with many local and systemic diseases. The pathogenesis of membranous fat necrosis is uncertain but trauma may be suspected in our case. We describe a case of lipoma with membranous fat necrosis.
