Résumé :

Contusions of soft tissues are frequently encountered but the more often without any major consequence. However, trauma of the fat may induce complications ranging from mere lymphatic effusion to the apparition of pseudo lipoma or even, exceptionally, of fat embolism. Although rare, one must be aware of these complications as they appear sometimes long after the trauma.
