“…A second type of NLCS occurs as a solitary nodule or papule; it is possibly a form fruste of the less common, classic type described by Hoffmann and Zurhelle. It occurs later in life (usually over 20 years of age) and may involve nonpelvic-girdle areas of skin such as the axilla, arm, knee, ear, or scalp (4,5).…”

In 1975, Mehregan et al (1) proposed the term pedunculated lipofibroma for the solitary form of NLCS in the view of its distinctive clinicopathologic features. Subsequently, Nogita et al reported and reviewed 32 cases of pedunculated lipofibroma in 1994. Pedunculated lipofibroma is a relatively rare form of benign connective tissue proliferation abnormality characterized by ectopic adipose tissue in the dermis. We observed a case of pedunculated lipofibroma with a prominent stalk containing feeding vessels, a history of congenital onset, a remarkable globular apple-shaped mass and an accompanying small sessile lesion. We report this case with a review of the literature.

DISCUSSIONNevus lipomatosus superficialis is a rare skin malformation characterized by the presence of ectopic mature adipose tissue in the dermis. 1,2 The proportion of the fatty tissue varies from 10-50% of the dermis. 3 Clinically, it is classified into the classical Hoffmann- ABSTRACTNevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a rare benign local malformation of the skin characterized by ectopic adipocytes in the dermis. It presents as either a classical type known as Hoffman-Zurhelle or the solitary type. We report a case of the classical type with multiple soft, non-tender, cerebriform, skin-colored papules and nodules over the lower back in a 16 years old female.
