Sclerema neonatorum
Sclerema neonatorum is a rare and severe skin condition that is characterized by diffuse hardening of the subcutaneous tissue with minimal inflammation.  It usually affects premature, ill newborns.  Prognosis is poor.
Minimal inflammation helps distinguish sclerema neonaturum from subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn.
