Abstract

Nevus lipomatosis cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare cutaneous hamartomatous lesion or connective tissue nevus having two clinical forms a). classical Hoffman-Zurhelle form and b). solitary form. We report a classical case of nevus lipomatosus superficialis in a 35-year-old male in the left flank. Histopathology showed presence of ectopic mature adipocytes extending to the papillary dermis with no connection to underlying subcutaneous fat, thus clinching our diagnosis. Excision is the ultimate cure with minimal chance of recurrence.
