“…7 The pathogenesis of NLCS has not been elucidated thoroughly, although several hypotheses have been postulated. 8 , 9 Clinically and pathologically, dermatologic diseases easily confused with NLCS include skin tags, focal dermal hypoplasia, nevus sebaceous, lipofibromas, plexiform neurofibroma, giant acrochordons with fat herniation, segmental neurofibromatosis, and lymphangioma. 10 , 11 A giant skin tag should be differentiated from the solitary form of NLCS.…”

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare hamartoma of adipose tissue characterized by the ectopic build-up of adipose tissue among collagen bundles and proliferation of ectopic adipocytes in the dermis, which leads to an absence of connection to the subcutaneous tissue. Giant NLCS (over 15 × 15 cm) is even rarer. So far, the largest NLCS mass in the literature was a giant lesion measuring 50 × 50 cm on the sacral area reported in 2014. Herein, we report a case of an even larger NLCS lesion with a size of 106 × 30 cm on the back and sacral regions. These lesions had been left untreated and had grown from small yellowish papules and nodules to giant multilocular pedunculated masses with cerebriform surfaces over 24 years. To the best of our knowledge, the NLCS lesion presented here is the largest reported. The report aimed to increase clinicians’ awareness of this rare and easily misdiagnosed disease. Furthermore, physicians should be mindful that early recognition and appropriate treatment are essential for NLCS patients, and lesions of NLCS can coalesce into unimaginable huge masses if left untreated resulting in more significant therapeutic challenges.

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a benign dermatosis, histologically characterized by the presence of mature ectopic adipocytes in the dermis. We hereby report a case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with multiple huge swellings on the scapular regions and lower back. The lesions were surmounted by small papules, along with peau-d orange appearance at places. Histology showed features consistent with NLCS. The case is being reported for the unusual clinical presentation.

“…Adult onset of classical NLCS as seen in our case has been reported very rarely. 4,7,8 In contrast the solitary form usually develops later in life and occurs as a single nodul with a predilection of head and neck area. 3,9,10 NLCS is mostly asymptomatic, however ulceration with foul smelling and discharge of the lesion have been rarely reported.…”
