Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Subcutaneous movable bodies are uncommon clinical findings.
  • Understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of these lesions is limited.

Observation:

  • Two cases of subcutaneous movable bodies were encountered.
  • Patients presented with palpable, mobile subcutaneous masses.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision was performed for both cases.
  • Histopathological examination identified free fatty tissues and calcifying epithelioma.
  • The exact cause and transformation mechanism remain unclear.

Implications:

  • These findings contribute to the limited literature on subcutaneous movable bodies.
  • Further research may elucidate the role of trauma in the development of these lesions.
  • Surgical excision is an effective treatment modality.
