“…It has been hypothesized that deposition of adipose tissue in dermis is secondary to degenerative changes in dermal collagen and elastic tissue, or due to displacement of subcutaneous adipose tissue into the dermis. 8,9 Systemic abnormalities and malignant change have not been reported. Treatment is cosmetic, with surgical excision being the preferred option.…”

Pedunculated tumours are soft, compressible skin-coloured solitary lesions, predominantly occurring on buttocks and thighs that need to be categorized rightly. We describe three solitary pedunculated masses of the pelvic girdle encountered in obese females. Primary clinical differential diagnoses included fibroepithelial polyps, lipoma, papilloma and nevus lipomatosus superficialis. Histopathological features helped in narrowing down definitive diagnosis of these look alike lesions as pedunculated lipofibroma or solitary form of Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis (NCLS) which is a broad-based lesion with aggregates of mature adipocytes extending into the dermis and Fibroepithelial polyp which displays loose dermal fibrocollagenous stroma with entrapped blood vessels in the absence of admixed adipose tissue. Though treatment of choice for these lesions is excision, it would be of interest for pathologists to be acquainted with these clinical mimics displaying divergent histology.

Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis (NLCS) is an uncommon hamartomatous lesion of the skin. NLCS is classified into two clinical forms classic and solitary. Some authors consider this lesion as a type of connective tissue nevus. We report a rare case of solitary NLCS in a 69 year old male with a long history of pedunculated swelling in the right gluteal cleft with review of literature. On gross appearance the lesion was a grey brown, exophytic, cerebriform, smooth skin covered soft tissue mass measuring 4.5 cms in the largest dimension with a broad peduncle attached. On histopathological examination the lesion showed superficial and deep dermal infiltration of the adipose tissue with distortion of the dermal collagen.

“…This is mostly found in the gluteal region, thighs, and pelvis [3]. The rarer solitary form, which appears after the second decade of life, is characterized as sessile, dome-shaped nodules or papules that appear in variable locations, but with a predilection for the trunk area [4]. Other atypical locations like the neck, scalp, eyelids, clitoris, and groin area were also reported [5][6][7].…”

The nose is a common site for many dermatological disorders and even skin cancers. Herein, we report a case of an elderly man who presented with papular lesions on his nose. A 64-year-old man presented with a cluster of four to five skin-colored papules on his nose for the last two years which were gradually increasing in size. He also had rhinophyma for the past 10 years. Routine investigations and histopathological examination were performed. On biopsy, it was revealed to be nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis, a rare, benign hamartomatous anomaly found mostly in lower parts of the body like the buttocks and hence not usually considered a differential in such cases. It is essential to know about this rare entity as well as its atypical features to consider it as a differential diagnosis for such lesions on the nose.
