Nevus lipomatosus superficialis on the neck: an unusual location
Authors
Abstract:
Nevus lipomatosus superficialis (NLS) is a hamartomatous skin lesion defined by the presence of mature adipose tissues among the collagen bundles of the dermis. It is classified into two forms:the classical form and the solitary form. The classical NLS most commonly involves the pelvic or gluteal region. In this paper, we report a case of classical NLS over the neck because of its atypicalsite. In addition, our patient had some uncommon features of NLS such as the presence of comedo-like lesions on the plaque and a foul-smelling discharge.

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis: An unusual presentation
Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is an uncommon benign hamartomatous condition characterized by the presence of mature ectopic adiopocytes in the dermis. Clinically they are classified into two forms. The classical form is characterized by groups of multiple, non-tender, soft, pedunculated, cerebriform, yellowish or skin-colored papules, nodules, or plaques. The other form of NL...

Two cases of naevus lipomatosus superficialis (Hoffmann and Zurhelle) are described by the authors. The main clinical characteristics and histological peculiarities are reviewed. Both cases were disseminated and had typical localisation (pelvic area). The histological examination showed ectopic adipocytes in the dermis. The authors mare a reference to the different hypotheses on the pathogenesi...

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a rare benign hamartomatous skin tumor characterized by dermal deposition of mature adipose tissue. Two clinical forms have been described (classical and solitary types). We describe a case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis with a 13-year history of growth in a young woman who had a solitary skin-colored tumoral mass on the right buttock. ...

We report a case of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis of Hoffman-Zurhelle (NCLS), with multiple lesions, in a ten-year-old child. The NLCS is considered rare. The classical clinical presentation is characterized by multiple skin-colored or yellowish papules and nodules, which can have a linear distribution. Histologically, it is characterized by the presence of mature ectopic adipocytes...
