ABSTRACT
Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn [SCFN] is an unusual disorder which occurs in term or post-term newborns due to perinatal stress. SCFN appears by firm nodules over the trunk, arm, buttock, thigh and cheeks in the first several weeks of life. Prevalence of SCFN is unknown. Race and sex do not play a role in this condition Hypocalcaemia and rarely hypercalcaemia are considered as major causes of morbidity and mortality in cases of SCFN. We report a case of SCFN in a two month male infant complicated with hypercalcemia and hyperuricemia
