Abstract:
Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a fairly uncommon lesion characterized by ectopic adipose tissue in the dermis. It presents as soft yellowish papules or cerebriform plaques occurring usually on the buttock or thigh with a wrinkled surface. We report a case of NLCS in 38-year-old female who presented reddish brown colored cerebriform tumors on her buttock and was treated by CO2 Laser. To our knowledge this is the first case of NLCS treated by CO2 Laser, path of except by excisional surgery.
