Mobile encapsulated fat necrosis is a benign condition that presents as a freely mobile nodule or cluster of nodules beneath the skin. We report a case of an elderly female with a complex medical history who presented with three mobile lesions on the left upper extremity shortly after undergoing a leg amputation, all determined to be mobile encapsulated fat necrosis at different stages of formation. This unusual presentation has not been well described in the literature and highlights the potential for associations with specific underlying medical conditions.
移动性包膜脂肪坏死是一种良性疾病,表现为皮下可自由移动的结节或结节群。我们报告一例有复杂病史的老年女性病例,该患者在接受腿部截肢术后不久,左上肢出现三个可移动的病变,所有病变均被确定为处于不同形成阶段的移动性包膜脂肪坏死。这种不寻常的表现尚未在文献中得到充分描述,并突出了与特定潜在疾病相关的可能性。
