title: Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis. An electron microscopic study of four cases.
abstract: Four cases of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis were studied under the electron microscope. The results showed the vascular origin of the fat cell and differentiation of young fat cells into mature fat cells. The findings are comparable to those observed in fetal adipogenesis.
