Nevus Lipomatosis Cutaneous Superficialis – A clinicopathologic study of the solitary type

摘要

BackgroundNevus Lipomatosis Cutaneous Superficialis (NLCS) is a rare, benign hamartomatous lesion characterized by the ectopic presence of mature adipocytes in the reticular dermis not associated with the underlying subcutaneous tissue. Two clinical forms-classical and solitary occur. The solitary form is relatively uncommon, due to which these lesions are commonly clinically misdiagnosed. The aim was to study the clinical and histopathological features of the solitary type of NLCS.
