Summary:The subcutaneous fat necrosis in the newborn baby is a selflimiting panniculitis that usually occurs in full-term infants as a consequence of perinatal asphyxia. This type of panniculitis appears in the first 4 weeks of life. The prognosis is usually good with complete regression. Despite of that, potentially life-threatening complications as hypercalcemia can arise even 6 months after the skin lesions appear. We present a newborn baby with a history of perinatal asphyxia, typical skin lesions and late clinical hypercalcemia. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
