Nevus lipomatosus superficialis is a rare disorder characterized by a nevoid fatty growth within the papillary and reticular dermis. Lesions more often occur in the sacral, abdominal, or pelvic regions. A 36‐year‐old Brazilian female with giant nevus lipomatosus is reported. Our case seems to be the biggest reported in the literature.
