“…The thickened skin exhibited strong contrast and contained some well-circumscribed ovoid areas which exhibited high signal intensity on T2weighted images and were not enhanced. Kawaguchi et al, 15 also reported similar CT and MRI findings in a series of 11 patients of NLSC.…”

Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis (NLCS) is an uncommon hamartomatous lesion of the skin. NLCS is classified into two clinical forms classic and solitary. Some authors consider this lesion as a type of connective tissue nevus. We report a rare case of solitary NLCS in a 69 year old male with a long history of pedunculated swelling in the right gluteal cleft with review of literature. On gross appearance the lesion was a grey brown, exophytic, cerebriform, smooth skin covered soft tissue mass measuring 4.5 cms in the largest dimension with a broad peduncle attached. On histopathological examination the lesion showed superficial and deep dermal infiltration of the adipose tissue with distortion of the dermal collagen.

“…Particularly, the classical type manifests as multiple large tumors, resulting in a clinical suspicion of a life‐threatening liposarcoma. Therefore, imaging studies are important for preoperative examination or follow‐up without resection; however, only a few case studies have described the imaging findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography owing to the rarity of NLCS 5–7 . Although ultrasonography, a common noninvasive modality, has been shown to be highly useful for assessing soft tissue masses, few ultrasonographic features of NLCS have been reported.…”

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a rare, benign hamartoma characterized by mature adipocyte proliferation in the dermis. It is frequently difficult to distinguish clinically from soft tissue tumors, including lipoma, neurofibroma, venous malformation, and angiolipoma. Notably, the classical form, which shows multiple and sometimes enlarged nodules, is difficult to differentiate from liposarcoma based on clinical examination, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings. Therefore, to ascertain the utility of ultrasonography in diagnosing nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis, sonographic examinations were performed on eight patients with nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis. All patients had ill‐defined hyperechoic masses in the dermis or from the dermis to the subcutis, and the posterior echoes were attenuated in seven patients. Color Doppler sonography revealed no blood flow to the lesions. Ultrasound images were created using the reflections of ultrasound waves at interfaces with different acoustic impedances. Therefore, it is assumed that, in nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis, the ultrasound beam is scattered by ectopic mature adipocytes intermingled with collagen bundles, which are shown as hyperechoic masses. Furthermore, the scattering of the ultrasound beam is thought to reduce tissue penetration, which may attenuate the posterior echo.
