Article Abstract

A 25-year-old man presented with gradually increasing swelling of 15 years' duration on the left side of his neck. There had been occasional foul-smelling discharge from the swelling. Local examination revealed an 8 cm × 5 cm oblong-shaped, yellowish to skin-colored, soft, -cerebriform swelling. There were multiple open comedones (Figure 1a). The surrounding skin had small and soft skin-colored papules. On palpation, there was no ulceration, tenderness, induration, or bag of worms. A scar from the past surgery was visible. Systemic examina- tion was unremarkable. The differential diagnosis demonstrated plexiform neurofibroma and nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS; Figure 2).
