Fat necrosis, light micrograph. Fat necrosis is a destruction of fat due to an injury in an area of fatty tissue. It appears when fat tissue is damaged by injury, surgery, or radiation therapy. It may also appear as a complication of obesity. The trauma or injury damages the fat cells, leading to inflammation and fibrosis, as show in this micrograph.
