Abstract

Nevus lipomatosus superficialis is a rare form of hamartoma or connective tissue nevus that is characterized by the presence of ectopic adipose tissue within the dermis. They usually present as soft yellowish or skin colored papulonodules with a predilection for the buttocks, upper thigh, and lumbar back. We report a solitary form of nevus lipomatosus superficialis in a 63-year-old woman who presented with a skin colored pedunculated mass. Histopathology showed mature adipocytes in lobules extending to the papillary dermis.
