Summary Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis ( NLCS ) is an uncommon lesion characterized by ectopic adipose tissue in the dermis and can be generalized or localized. It presents as a soft skin colored to yellowish papules or cerebriform plaques occurring usually on the buttock or thigh in a segment distribution. We report a case of NLCS in 38‐year‐old female, which was treated using the ultrapulse mode CO 2 Laser. We describe the scientific logic and clinical results of using the ultrapulse mode in relation to the pathology of NLCS .
