Abstract:
Nevus Iipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a very rare skin disease which usually is present at birth. The lesion consists of grouped papules and nodules which on histological examination show the presence of ectopic fatty tissue in the corium. The authors observed a 17year old female with NLCS. She noticed soft papules and nodules on the coccygeal area since 8 years old. We confirmed this case by clinically and histopathological findings which showed the strands or islands of mature fatty tissue within papillay, mid and lower dermis.
