Solitary Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis: A Case Report

Abstract

Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis (NLCS) is a rare benign hamartomatous skin tumou r. It consists of infiltration of mature adipose tissue into the dermal collagen. It’s clinically classified in two types: the classical form, and the solitary form. We report the case of a 36-year-old male developing a solitary skin-coloured, soft, pedunculated, asymptomatic lesion over the posterior aspect of right thigh having thick cerebriform surface progressing over 1.5 year. We report this case as it is an uncommon condition with the solitary variant being more rare and to highlight its histopathological features, and differential diagnosis.
