Abstract
Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLS) is a rare skin malformation characterized by ectopic adipocyte in upper dermis. It is composed of multiple nodular and papular lesions localized especially on lower part of trunk and gluteal region. These lesions have linear and zoster form pattern. In our case, 42 years-old woman admitted to our clinic, presenting with non-painful and non-itchy bulky lesion gradually increased on her upper back region since 5 years. On her examination, multiple nodulo-papular lesions with zoster form pattern localized on lower margin of right scapular region were detected. It was diagnosed as NLS, depending on histopathological investigation. Treatment for NLS is cosmetically surgical excision, and the patient’s lesion was excised, because it is benign lesion.
