Sclerema neonatorum--histopathologic study.
Histopathological study of 10 cases sclerema neonatorum showed subcutaneous fibrosis with lobulation in all the cases. 8 (80 percent) cases showed non-specific chronic inflammation of dermis and thinning of epidermis with atrophy of rete pegs and hypercollgenisation of dermis was evident in 70 percent cases. Fat necrosis with crystallisation of fat content was not a conspicuous feature.
