A superficial cutaneous lipomatous nevus is an idiopathic connective tissue nevus or hamartoma characterized by single or multiple lobulated skin-colored tumors with a certain predilection for the pelvic girdle; its appearance is rare. Histologically, the presence of mature fat cells located ectopically in the dermis stands out. We present a 40-year-old male patient with a skin lesion of the right gluteal region since he was a child. On dermatological examination, he had multiple, skin-colored, papulonodular lesions of variable size and soft consistency located on the right buttock. Exeresis and skin biopsy of a larger papulonodular lesion were performed, with histopathological diagnosis of superficial cutaneous lipomatous nevus.

Keywords : lipomatosis; nevus; hamartoma.
