  • Title: Genital nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis: A diagnostic challenge in a pediatric patient.
    Author: Liu R, Arzeno J, Lonowski S, Smart C, Cheng C.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2020 Mar; 37(2):352-354. PubMed ID: 31867728.
    Abstract:
    Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is an idiopathic hamartomatous condition characterized by the presence of mature adipose tissue in the dermis. We report a case of NLCS initially misdiagnosed as condyloma acuminata in a 14-year-old boy. This case highlights classic clinical and histologic features of NLCS. The case presented here underscores the need for a high degree of clinical suspicion in diagnosing NLCS and in differentiating benign anogenital lesions from sexually transmitted conditions to avoid unnecessary work-up and undue emotional stress.
