Background  Injections with phosphatidylcholine‐ and deoxycholate‐containing substances are used to treat localized fat accumulation and lipomas. It is believed that the injected substances induce fat cell destruction with subsequent acute panniculitis followed by a repair process of the treated fat tissue.

Phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate injections induce fat cell necrosis in human fat tissue, leading to acute panniculitis and tissue repair.
