Abstract
Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare cutaneous hamartoma characterized by mature adipocytes in the dermis. Here, we present a unique case of NLCS in a 57-year-old female that strikingly resembled an acrochordon, demonstrating features of the classical and solitary form of NLCS. This presentation of NLCS has not been widely reported and emphasizes that the diagnosis of NLCS should be considered when evaluating suspected acrochordons.Keywords
