Abstract

MANY investigators have reported cases of subcutaneous fat necrosis, some with accompanying calcifications radiologically or histologically proved; few of the patients have also had elevated serum calcium levels. The purpose of this paper is to report the case of an infant with the three abnormalities, and to review the previously published cases of a similar nature.
