Abstract

Encapsulated fat necrosis is a distinct, benign subcutaneous lesion characterized by histologically non-viable adipose cells surrounded by thin fibrous capsules. We report a case of encapsulated fat necrosis in a 30-year-old woman who had one mobile, subcutaneous nodule on her left shin for 3 years without previous history of trauma. Histopathologically the nodule showed strong PAS positive necrotic adipose tissues encapsulated by fibrous tissue.
