Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis: Unusual presentation

Abstract

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is an uncommon dermatosis in which the adipose tissue is present ectopically in the dermis. This condition is clinically divided into two variants: classical and solitary. The first is characterized by soft, pedunculated, cerebriform, skin-colored or yellowish papules or nodules, mainly involving the pelvic region. The latter is observed as a solitary or sessile papule. Treatment with surgical excision is usually enough. Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis may be associated with other conditions such as multiple lipomas, as in our case.
