Abstract

Pedunculated lipofibroma is a rare benign hamartomatous condition that is characterized by ectopic adipose tissue in the dermis and a solitary form of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis. We describe here a neonate with congenital pedunculated lipofibroma. The lesion was removed by simple excision.

Keywords: Neonate; Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis; Pedunculated lipofibroma.
