Post Traumatic Membranous Cystic Lipodystrophy: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Membranous Cystic Lipodystrophy (MCL) is a rare form of panniculitis diagnosed histologically by the presence of cystic cavities bordered by eosinophilic crenated hyaline membranes, which stain positively with Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS).

It was first described as a morphological characteristic of Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD). Subsequently, this panniculitis has been reported in several other clinical circumstances, predominantly associated with vascular disorders.

We present a rare case of post-traumatic membranous cystic lipodystrophy.
