Indian J Dermatol. 2015 May-Jun;60(3):296-7. doi: 10.4103/0019-5154.156390.

Abstract

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a benign dermatosis, histologically characterized by the presence of mature ectopic adipocytes in the dermis. We hereby report a case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with multiple huge swellings on the scapular regions and lower back. The lesions were surmounted by small papules, along with peau-d orange appearance at places. Histology showed features consistent with NLCS. The case is being reported for the unusual clinical presentation.

Keywords: Huge swellings; nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis; peau-d orange appearance.
