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.

“…The ectopic adipose cells are thought by some authors to originate from vascular elements in a process likened to fetal adipogenesis [4, 5]. The occurrence of other lesions in NLS has been reported, albeit rarely, predominantly as pilar abnormalities.…”
