Abstract

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare skin disease that is characterized by the ectopic presence of mature adipose tissue in the dermis. There are two clinical variants. The first type is multiple lesions with a zonal distribution, and this is usually seen on the buttocks or lower back area. The lesions are seen at birth or they develop within the first three decades of life. The second type is the solitary papule or nodule with a less restricted distribution and this occurs during the third to sixth decades of life. We report here on a case of a 13-year-old female who presented with an asymptomatic solitary 3x4 cm sized slightly erythematous elevated winkled mass on the right heel since birth, and the lesion gradually increased in size. The lesion showed the histopathological features of NLCS.
