Abstract
Newborn skin nodules are usually benign and self-resolving skin condition.
Differential diagnosis of such lesions include cysts, hemangioma, abscess,
cellulitis, sclerema neonatorum, subcutaneous fat necrosis, neurofibromatosis,
benign tumors, or malignant tumors such as rhabdomyosarcoma, infantile
fibrosarcoma, or neuroblastoma. We report a case of congenital subcutaneous fat
necrosis in a 7-day-old baby presenting with multiple erythematous mass on
back.
