Abstract

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a very rare skin disease which is characterized by the ectopic presence of rnature adipose tissue in the dermis. There are two clinical variants. The first type is the multiple lesions of zonal distribution usually on the buttocks or the lower back area. Sometimes coalescence of the papules tend to form cerebriform plaques. The second type is the solitary papule or nodule with less restricted tendency in its distribution. We describe a 24-year-old female patient who had a soft yellowish, well defined, fetal head-sized cerebriform tumor with comedo-like plugs on the right buttock and the perineal area. The skin lesions began about 10 years ago and gradually increased in size. Routine laboratory findings were within the normal limit. Histopathological findings are hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, deep crypt-like indenation in the epidermis, and ectopic collection of mature adipose tissue in the derrnis. Diagnosis was confirrned by clinical and histopathological findings. Literature was briefly reviewed for discussion.
