Abstract
A 68-year-old woman had a rare mobile mass on her back. The mass was similar to encapsulated fat necrosis except for its unusual stalked appearance, large size, and high degree of mobility underneath the anterior serratus muscle on the back. Based on previous descriptions of encapsulated fat necrosis, the clinical presentation of the mass might be regarded as an extreme example of this rare condition.
