Subkutan yağ nekrozu (SYN) nadir görülen bir durumdur ve genellikle yaşamın ilk birkaç haftasında pannikülit ile kendini gösterir. SYN’e bağlı cilt lezyonları kendiliğinden iyileşse de yaşamı tehdit eden şiddetli hiperkalsemi en önemli komplikasyonudur. Sepsis nedeniyle tedavi edilmekte olan yenidoğanda gözlenen nodüler eritemli cilt lezyonları SYN tanısı koydurdu. Olguda gelişen ciddi hiperkalsemi olağan tedavi rejimlerine yanıt vermemişti. Bu nedenle, hiperkalsemiyi düzeltmek için bifosfonat (pamidronat) tedavisi kullanıldı. Hiperkalsemi, SYN’nin ciddi bir komplikasyonudur ve uzun süreli izlem gerektirir. Bu olgularda kalsiyum seviyeleri düzenli olarak takip edilmelidir. Pamidronatın SYN’e bağlı hiperkalsemide güvenlidir ve ciddi hiperkalseminin tedavisinde ilk seçenek olarak tercih edilmelidir

Severe Hypercalcemia in an Infant with Subcutaneous Fat Necrosis: Successful Management with Bisphosphonate Treatment

Öz

Subcutaneous fat necrosis (SFN) in infancy is a rare condition and usually presents with panniculitis, especially within the first few weeks of life. These skin lesions may improve spontaneously but the most lifethreatening complication of SFN is severe hypercalcemia. Here, we report the case of an infant with severe hypercalcemia due to SFN. The infant was managed for sepsis and evaluated for nodular erythematous skin lesions, which revealed SFN. Hypercalcemia was severe and unresponsive to the usual treatment regimens. Therefore, bisphosphonate (pamidronate) was used to correct the hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia is a serious complication in SFN and needs prolonged follow-up. Calcium levels should be monitored regularly in these patients. We report that pamidronate may be appropriate as the first line therapy to treat severe hypercalcemia due to SFN.
