Lipedematous scalp (LS) is a rare cutaneous disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by significant thickening of subcutaneous tissue which results in a thick, boggy, scalp swelling. To the best of our knowledge, less than 50 cases are reported till date. Hereby, we present a total of four cases of LS, that is, two cases of LS and two cases of unusual associations of LS with alopecia areata and intradermal nevus. LS with intradermal nevus and alopecia areata are the first of its kind, not yet reported till date.So far, only two cases of LS had been reported from Indian population. Hence, our effort is to bring into notice this growing yet an uncommon condition in the Indian population.
脂肿性头皮（LS）是一种病因不明的罕见皮肤疾病，其特征是皮下组织显著增厚，导致头皮增厚、松软、肿胀。据我们所知，迄今为止报道的病例不到50例。在此，我们共报告了4例脂肿性头皮病例，即2例单纯脂肿性头皮病例以及2例脂肿性头皮与斑秃和皮内痣的罕见关联病例。脂肿性头皮合并皮内痣和斑秃的病例尚属首例，迄今为止尚未见报道。到目前为止，印度人群中仅报道过2例脂肿性头皮病例。因此，我们致力于让印度人群注意到这种日益增多但并不常见的病症。
