NAEVUS LIPOMATOSIS SUPERFICIALIS - A RARE CASE REPORT
Abstract
Naevus lipomatosis superficialis (NLCS) is a rare type of connective tissue naevus. It is a rare idiopathic benign hamartoma. It is characterized by presence of ectopic mature adipose tissue within the collagen bundles of dermis. It clinically manifests as solitary or multiple papules or plaques on skin. Here we report a case of 11 year old female child with multiple soft non tender cerebriform skin coloured papules and plaques in the left hip region. We report this case as it is an uncommon benign lesion to highlight its clinical picture, histopathological features and differential diagnosis.
