Naevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis : report of two cases

Naevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is an uncommon idiopathic hamartomatous condition characterised by groups of mature fat cells situated within the dermis. There are two types: the classical type as first described by Hoffmann and Zurhelle consists of multiple, soft, nontender skin coloured to yellow papules and nodules which often coalesce to form plaques. The solitary type consists of solitary dome-shaped papule or nodule. We report two cases of classical type of NLCS which had varying clinical features and characteristic histopathological features.
