Necrosis01:16

Necrosis

7.2K
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...

External Anatomy of the Kidney

4.6K
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

Hypodermis01:02

Hypodermis

8.4K
The hypodermis (the subcutaneous layer or superficial fascia) is present directly below the dermis. It connects the skin to the underlying fascia (fibrous tissue) of the bones and muscles. It is not strictly a part of the skin, although the border between the hypodermis and dermis can be difficult to distinguish. The hypodermis consists of well-vascularized, loose, areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue, which functions as a mode of fat storage and provides insulation and cushioning for...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Subcutaneous encapsulated fat necrosis is a rare, benign finding.
  • It is typically asymptomatic and frequently underreported in medical literature.
  • Previous imaging of this condition is limited, with only two prior publications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a case of subcutaneous encapsulated fat necrosis.
  • To document the imaging characteristics of this benign entity.
  • To assist surgeons in the preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis of fat necrosis.

Main Methods:

  • Histopathological examination of excised subcutaneous nodule.
  • Intraoperative assessment by surgical teams.

Main Results:

  • The case presented a subcutaneous encapsulated fat necrosis with a cloudy yellow surface, distinct from the 'pearly' appearance described in previous reports.
  • Histopathology confirmed benign, necrotic adipose tissue encapsulated within fibrous tissue.

Conclusions:

  • Subcutaneous encapsulated fat necrosis is a benign condition with variable imaging findings.
  • Recognition of its diverse presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • Intraoperative identification can prevent unnecessary extensive surgical procedures.
