Subcutaneous fat necrosis is a rare inflammatory disorder of the adipose tissue, appears with nodules and plaques. Subcutaneous fat necrosis is mostly seen in term and post-term newborns during the first weeks of life. Laboratory investigation of the male newborn who was referred to our hospital in postnatal 15 hours due to birth hypoxia and meconium aspiration syndrome showed hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia and thrombocytopenia. On the fourth day of life, the skin lesions were seen on the baby’s back and upper extremities compatible with subcutaneous fat necrosis. We think that hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia and thrombocytopenia might be related with hypoxia. Although subcutaneous fat necrosis is a self-healing disorder, close monitoring of the patients is important due to complications.
