Nevus lipomatosus cutaneus superficialis.
Nevus lipomatosus cutaneus superficialis (NLCS) is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by isolated ectopic mature adipose tissue in the dermis. We describe a child with a NLCS present from birth that was growing in size. The lesion was removed by simple excision and has not recurred.
