The fat pad in the lungs, often referred to as perivascular or peribronchial fat, consists of adipose tissue surrounding the blood vessels and bronchi within the pulmonary system. This fat serves several functions, including providing insulation and cushioning for the structures in the lungs, as well as potentially playing a role in inflammatory responses and metabolic processes. An increased amount of fat in this area may be associated with respiratory conditions and can impact lung function.

What is meant by Fat pad syndrome?
The fat pad is a normal structure in the knee. It is literally composed of fat and is bright yellow in colour and exists below the patella (kneecap) just behind the patellar tendon.
