Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneus Superficialis (Hoffmann‐Zurhelle)

Abstract

A total of 7 cases with nevus lipomatosus cutaneus superficialis are reported. A review of the literature indicates that this is a relatively rare type of connective tissue nevus with little more than 50 cases recorded. Localization of the cutaneous nodular lesions over the upper thigh and buttock and histologic findings of fat lobules within the substance of the nevoid malformation differentiate these lesions from other varieties of the connective tissue nevi.
