Subcutaneous moving bodies.
Subcutaneous free or moving bodies are rare. We report two cases of subcutaneous movable bodies. These two bodies were treated by surgical excision. Histopathological findings were free fatty tissues and calcifying epithelioma. The cause of free fatty bodies and the mechanism by which they turn into a widely moving calcifying epithelioma are now obscure; however, trauma may be a possible cause of these lesions.
