TL;DR
An elderly woman developed three mobile fat necrosis lesions on her arm after a leg amputation, a rare case highlighting possible links to underlying medical conditions.
Contribution
This case report presents an unusual occurrence of three mobile encapsulated fat necrosis lesions in one patient.
Findings
The patient had three mobile lesions on her left upper extremity at different stages of formation.
The lesions were diagnosed as mobile encapsulated fat necrosis, a benign condition.
The case suggests a possible association with the patient's complex medical history and recent leg amputation.
Abstract
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.
