The panniculus adiposus is the fatty layer of the subcutaneous tissues, superifical to a deeper vestigial layer of muscle, the panniculus carnosus.[1]
It includes structures that are considered fascia by some sources but not by others.
An example is the Fascia of Camper.
Another example is the superficial cervical fascia.[2]
