Abstract
|
|
|
Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare skin disease that is characterized by the ectopic presence
of mature adipose tissue in the dermis. There are two clinical variants. The first type is multiple lesions with a
zonal distribution, and this is usually seen on the buttocks or lower back area. The lesions are seen at birth or they
develop within the first three decades of life. The second type is the solitary papule or nodule with a less restricted
distribution and this occurs during the third to sixth decades of life. We report here on a case of a 13-year-old
female who presented with an asymptomatic solitary 3×4 cm sized slightly erythematous elevated winkled mass on
the right heel since birth, and the lesion gradually increased in size. The lesion showed the histopathological features
of NLCS.
