Abstract

A 10-year-old boy had a 2-year history of a mobile subcutaneous nodule on his right lower leg. He had no pain or tenderness. He and his family agreed to resection of the nodule, which was removed easily. Histopathologically, the nodule was composed of mature fat tissue encapsulated by a thick collagenous capsule. All previous cases under the age of 20 years had a history of trauma related to sports. Our case belonged to a soccer team, and repeatedly had injuries to his lower legs. This may be related to the appearance of this disease.
