Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is an extremely rare hamartomatous disorder comprising of ectopic mature adipose tissue. The lesions take the form of large, slow-growing, sessile or pedunculated tumors. We report the case of an 11-year-old boy with NLCS, dating back many months, that was growing as a cuff around the parotid duct. The lesion was successfully removed by diode laser excision (980 nm) and a diagnosis of NLCS was rendered. At one-year follow-up the tumor has not recurred. To our knowledge this is the first report of NLCS in the oral cavity; the characteristic clinical and morphological features aided in the diagnosis of this hamartoma. The peculiarity of this case is its location; the extreme rarity of NLCS, in general, probably makes this case unique.

Abstract: | Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is an extremely rare hamartomatous disorder comprising of ectopic mature adipose tissue. The lesions take the form of large, slow-growing, sessile or pedunculated tumors. We report the case of an 11-year-old boy with NLCS, dating back many months, that was growing as a cuff around the parotid duct. The lesion was successfully removed by diode laser excision (980 nm) and a diagnosis of NLCS was rendered. At one-year follow-up the tumor has not recurred. To our knowledge this is the first report of NLCS in the oral cavity; the characteristic clinical and morphological features aided in the diagnosis of this hamartoma. The peculiarity of this case is its location; the extreme rarity of NLCS, in general, probably makes this case unique. |
