Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis: Report of eight cases
Dermatology and Therapy, 2011Co-Authors: S Goucha, A Khaled, F Zeglaoui, Soumeya Rammeh, R Zermani, B FazaaAbstract:Introduction Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare benign hamartomatous skin tumor characterized by dermal deposition of mature adipose tissue. It’s classified in two types: the classical form with multiple soft, pedunculated, cerebriform Papules and nodules that coalesce into plaques, and the solitary form that consists of a solitary Papule or nodule. In this study, eight cases of NLCS are reported. Methods The study was a retrospective case series including all patients with histopathologically documented NLCS who attended the Dermatology Department of Charles Nicolle hospital between January 1997 and December 2010. The objective of our study was to determine the epidemioclinical characteristics, the histopathologic features, and the treatment of this hamartoma. Patients included three males and five females aged between 7 and 41 years. Results In four cases hamartoma was present since childhood, and in the other four cases it appeared in the third and fourth decades. Classical form was noted in seven cases and the solitary form in one case. Lesions involved limbs in four patients and trunk in four patients. Seven patients underwent surgical excision, and for one case no treatment was proposed. Conclusion The multiple or classical form is largely predominant in our study. Habitually, NLCS has an asymptomatic course. Treatment is usually not necessary unless for cosmetic reasons; surgical excision is curative and recurrence after is rare.

teenager with a bleeding red Papule
American Family Physician, 2016Co-Authors: Elizabeth V Seiverling, Daniel Mclaughlin, Obsitu KelifaAbstract:Previously published Photo Quizzes are now featured in a mobile app. Get more information at http:// www.aafp.org/afp/apps. A 14-year-old boy presented with a tender red Papule on his finger. He first noticed it two months earlier. It bled several times, especially when rubbed by his baseball mitt. He had no medical problems or allergies, and he was not taking any medications. He had no other similar skin lesions, and the review of systems was negative for bleeding problems, easy bruising, and frequent infections. Physical examination revealed a solitary bright-red Papule on the distal lateral portion of his left fifth finger (Figure 1). On dermoscopy, the lesion was homogeneously red and surrounded by a white collarette of scale (Figure 2). There was no evidence of a pigment network, pigment globules, or dotted vessels.
