A celulite é um desarranjo arquitetônico comum do tecido adiposo subcutâneo que resulta em ondulações e nodularidade da pele sobrejacente. É mais comum em mulheres pós-púberes e acomete principalmente a região pélvica, membros inferiores e abdome. Acredita-se que resulte da herniação de múltiplos pequenos agregados de gordura subcutânea através do tecido fibroso na junção dermo-hipodérmica. A obesidade predispõe, mas não é necessária para o seu desenvolvimento. O termo está em uso generalizado, mas é enganoso, pois não tem nada a ver com "cellulitis" (NT: infecção de pele). A condição é assintomática, mas pode causar constrangimento considerável. | |||
