In 2019, a 39-year-old male who presented with multiple, asymptomatic, skin-colored, cerebriform masses widely distributed on the dorsal, sacral, left facial, and the nuchal area was admitted to our institution (Figure 1A). No recurrence of NLCS was observed in the 3-year follow-up, which dramatically improved the patient's basic self-care abilities and psychological health (Figure 1B and C).
Histopathological biopsy revealed ectopic mature adipocytes interspersed with collagen bundles and proliferating in the dermis (Hematoxylin and eosin; x40).
