ABSTRACT
Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is an uncommon form of connective tissue nevus, which is manifested principally as the deposition of fatty tissue in the dermis. Lesions almost always arise unilaterally on the thigh or buttock. Although NLCS can affect any region of the skin, only five cases of NLCS on face have been reported. A 48-year-old female presented with a skin-colored, 1 cm sized, soft and edematous plaque on the right malar area. The histopathologic findings showed scattered ectopic fat lobules between collagen fibers in the mid to deep dermis. We herein reported a case of solitary and plaque-shaped NLCS on the malar area.
