    Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare benign hamartoma characterized by ectopic mature adipocytes in the dermis.

  • 2

    Verrucous epidermal nevus (VEN) is a common epidermal hamartoma presenting with verrucous hyperplasia and is characterized histologically by epidermal papillomatosis.

  • 3

    The coexistence of NLCS and VEN in a single patient is exceedingly rare, suggesting a potential common developmental origin.

  • 4

    A 20-year-old male presented with multiple skin-colored lesions on his left lower back, diagnosed as coexistent NLCS and VEN after histopathological examination.

    This case emphasizes the need for clinicians to consider combined hamartomas when encountering linear skin lesions and to perform multiple-site biopsies.
