La Fascite Necrotizzante (FN) è un'infezione dei tessuti molli caratterizzata da un'estesa necrosi del tessuto adiposo sottocutaneo, delle strutture neurovascolari e della fascia. La caratteristica del caso clinico da noi trattato è stata l'aggressività  e la rapida progressione della malattia. Una donna di 59 anni giungeva alla nostra osservazione in condizioni molto gravi con febbre e un'estesa area necrotica maleodorante in regione inguino-femorale destra con estensione alla coscia. In anamnesi nessuna patologia pregressa. Obesità . La minima cellulite cutanea presente all'esordio della malattia avrebbe potuto causare un ritardo nella diagnosi e ciò avrebbe potuto determinare una rapida progressione della malattia verso lo shock, l'insufficienza multiorgano e, in ultima analisi, la morte. La tomografia computerizzata e la risonanza magnetica possono essere utili nei casi in cui i segni sono dubbi o la diagnosi è incerta. Presenteremo di seguito una revisione dettagliata della letteratura e descriveremo le attuali modalità  di trattamento. Nel caso in questione, lo sbrigliamento chirurgico aggressivo, la gestione medica della sepsi e delle comorbidità  e la tempestiva chiusura della ferita mediante innesto dermo-epidermico sono stati fondamentali per un esito favorevole della patologia. La FN è una rara infezione dei tessuti molli pericolosa per la vita che si diffonde rapidamente e progressivamente lungo la fascia profonda. La prognosi dipende da una diagnosi accurata e da un trattamento immediato.
