Abstract
Background: Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare benign hamartomatous idiopathic condition. The characteristic feature of this condition is the presence of mature adipocytes in the dermis. Two forms of NLCS are identified clinically vis-à-vis classical form and solitary form. The latter is seen in adults and is a rarer variant than the former.
Case Representation: This case report describes a solitary and pedunculated form of NLCS seen in the thigh of a young adult, a rare variant of NLCS. The swelling was excised surgically followed by good recovery with no recurrence.
Conclusion: Early recognition of this benign condition will result in less morbidity amongst the patients with regards to cosmesis especially when the lesion can recur.
