Conclusion
Serial surgical excision effectively treated a giant nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis, resulting in an excellent cosmetic outcome.
Supporting Evidence
- Histopathology confirmed classical nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis.
- Serial excision allowed staged removal of the large classical NLCS for an excellent cosmetic result.
- At the six-month follow-up, only a hypopigmented patch persisted at the surgery site.
- Early diagnosis and conservative treatment prevent disfigurement and morbidity in this rare condition.
Takeaway
A woman had a big skin growth that looked funny, and doctors took it out in stages to make her look better without leaving big scars.
Methodology
The largest nodule was excised under local anesthesia, followed by the removal of remaining nodules six months later under short general anesthesia.
Participant Demographics
25-year-old healthy unmarried female with no relevant medical history.
