Eruptive Collagenomas: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Collagenoma or connective tissue nevus is a rare hamartomatous lesion that mainly consists of dermal collagen. Collagenomas are classified into hereditary and acquired collagenomas. Eruptive collagenomas are acquired collagenomas that are characterized by the sudden appearance of raised, cutaneous, firm, white-to-skin-colored papules or nodules. Here in; we report a 35-year- old female presented with 8 months history of asymptomatic slowly progressive skin lesions. Past medical history, drug history and review of systems were all unremarkable. Her parents are non-consanguineous and no similar case in the family. Skin examination revealed multiple non scaly whitish papules scattered on her abdomen, chest wall and back. Skin biopsy showed increased dermal collagen bundles. Bone scan of long bones was normal. Cardiologist consultation revealed no cardiac disease. Based on the above features, a diagnosis of eruptive collagenomas was made. Patient was reassured and put under periodic follow up.
