Abstract

We present the MRI findings in a case of subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn. To our knowledge, the MRI findings of this entity have not been reported. Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is an uncommon, benign process in full-term infants. Hypercalcemia may be a potentially life-threatening complication of this otherwise self-limiting process.
