Conclusion
The study presents two rare cases of nevus lipomatosus superficialis with disorganized folliculosebaceous structures.
Supporting Evidence

- Disorganized pilosebaceous units were observed in both cases.
- Only two previous cases of NLS with FSCH have been reported in the literature.
Takeaway

Limitations
The study is based on only two cases, limiting the generalizability of the findings.
Participant Demographics
Two male patients aged 33 and 51.
