Abstract
- 1.1. One hundred sixty-three cases of fat necrosis collected during a twelve-year period have been reported. No cases associated with pancreatitis have been included.
- 2.2. Seventy-four of these patients had the lesion in the breast, sixty-five in or about the peritoneal cavity and twenty-five in the subcutaneous tissue.
- 3.3. When the lesion is palpable, it is readily confused with neoplastic growths and must be differentiated from them.
- 4.4. The lesion occurs predominantly in females. It has an apparent relationship to some form of trauma in approximately 60 per cent of instances, and to infection in an additional 15 per cent.
