    Nevus lipomatosus superficialis in sacrococcygeal region. Case report in an infant
    (Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2016) Ana Jimenez Uribe; Armando Solares Rojas
    Nevus lipomatosus superficialis is a benign tumor characterized by the presence of mature adipocytes located in the superficial layer of the dermis; its management is surgical and most of the time is reported in adults.This case presents a malformation from birth in the sacrococcygeal region over the lateral line to the right, which is why, after obtaining imaging studies to rule out an associated hidden dysraphism, surgery was decided for total resection of the mass, without complications.Finally, the pathology report diagnoses nevus lipomatosus superficialis, which constitutes a rare and unusual case based on the differential diagnoses and presentation.
