A case of subcutaneous fat necrosis that occurred at Hospital e Maternidade São Luiz is described. A brief review of the literature is made and the authors verify that the risk group for fat necrosis is constituted by full-term newborns who experienced fetal distress. It is shown that hypercalcemia is frequently present in this condition and its symptomatology,etiology, and treatment are also discussed. Finally, the authors suggest the close follow up of these patients until 16 weeks of life to try to identify the laboratorial and clinical signs of hypercalcemia promptly.

Cellular Injury IV: Necrosis

Necrosis is a form of irreversible cell death caused by severe injury such as ischemia, toxins, or trauma. Unlike programmed cell death, it is an uncontrolled, pathological process that typically provokes inflammation in surrounding tissues.Pathophysiologic ChangesNecrosis begins when cells sustain critical damage, leading to swelling of organelles, particularly mitochondria, and rapid ATP depletion. As energy levels decline, membrane ion pumps fail, leading to calcium influx and eventually,...

Necrosis

Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...
