A few cases of subcutaneous nodules with the histological findings of membranous lipodystrophy‐like changes have been reported in the literature. However, reports of membranous lipodystrophy‐like changes caused by trauma are exceedingly rare. We report two cases of traumatic lipogranuloma that had linear and multiple lesions showing membranous lipodystrophy‐like changes and were induced by safety belt trauma after a car accident. These patients showed peculiar changes in their subcutaneous fat and had linear patterned, multiple, nodular lesions with membranous lipodystrophy‐like changes caused by trauma.
