Abstract(s)
A Necrose Gorda do Recém-nascido (NGRN) é uma paniculite rara, autolimitada, que surge em recém-nascidos de termo, nas primeiras semanas de vida. A sua patogénese permanece desconhecida mas parece estar relacionada com situações de stress, que levam à hipoperfusão e cristalização do tecido adiposo, causando necrose e inflamação granulomatosa. O caso clínico descrito representa uma NGRN apenas com envolvimento cutâneo. O provável factor precipitante associado foi o parto por cesariana.
Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SCFN) is an uncommon disorder characterized by panniculitis, that usually runs a self-limited course and occurs in healthy and full-term newborn. The exact pathogenesis of subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn in not known, but it is postulated that cold or stress-induced injury to immature fat results in the development of solidification and necrosis; a granulomatous infiltrate forms subsequently. The present case report represents a SCFN limited to cutaneous involvement. The probable causal factor was delivery by cesarean.
