Abstract
-
Subcutaneous fat necrosis of newborn (SCFNN) is a rare disease. Characteristically, full-term infants with associated perinatal problems such as hypoxia, hypothermia, and obstetric trauma are affected in the first week of life. We report a case of SCFNN, which presented as an erythematous subcutaneous mass on the back of a male neonate who suffered from meconium aspiration pneumonia with neonatal sepsis.
