Abstract

Stem cells from adipose tissue can differentiate into fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and other cells; they can also secrete mediators with neoangiogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. Initially described for burn treatment, some authors suggested stem cells for treating complex, evolving wounds with 3 cm in length. After two fat grafting sessions, our patient presented granulation tissue in the frontal region. The properties of stem cells from adipose tissue allow their use in burn treatment and chronic wounds, as in our case, which presented bone exposure in a prime region with few adjacent donor areas and a high failure potential for skin flaps.
