A dermatofibroma, or benign fibrous histiocytomas, is a benign nodule in the skin, typically on the legs, elbows or chest of an adult. [3] It is usually painless. [3]It usually ranges from 0.2cm to 2cm in size but larger examples have been reported. [3]
Angiokeratoma of Fordyce (also known as "Angiokeratoma of the scrotum and vulva," though not to be confused with Fordyce's spots) [5] is a skin condition characterized by red to blue papules on the scrotum or vulva. Solitary angiokeratoma is a small, bluish-black, warty papule that occurs predominantly on the lower extremities. [5]: 590
Prurigo nodularis (PN), also known as nodular prurigo, is a skin disorder characterized by pruritic , nodular lesions, which commonly appear on the trunk, arms and legs. [1] Patients often present with multiple excoriated nodules caused by chronic scratching.
Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia with nodular pattern, a condition of the skin characterized by a solitary or localized cluster of asymptomatic erythematous to violaceous papules or nodules [2]: 725 Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia with bandlike and perivascular patterns, a condition of the skin characterized by skin lesions that clinically ...
Smaller (less than 0.5 cm) raised soft tissue bumps may be termed papules. [3] The evaluation of a skin nodule includes a description of its appearance, its location, how it feels to touch and any associated symptoms which may give clues to an underlying medical condition. [4] Nodules in skin include dermatofibroma [5] and pyogenic granuloma. [6]
Cutaneous lupus mucinosis, also known as papular and nodular mucinosis in lupus erythematosus, papular and nodular mucinosis of Gold, and papulonodular mucinosis in lupus erythematosus, is a cutaneous condition characterized by lesions that present as asymptomatic skin-colored, at times reddish, 0.5–2 cm papules and nodules. [1] [2]
Fibrous papules are also termed facial angiofibromas and were formerly and incorrectly termed adenoma sebaceum (fibrous papules are unrelated to sebaceous glands [4]). They develop in up to 8% of the general adult population and occur as 1 to 3 [ 5 ] pink to red, [ 4 ] dome-shaped papules in the central areas of the face, nose, and/or lips. [ 6 ]
They can be smooth and flat, or they can seem like reddish, pink, violaceous, or brown papules with a slightly elevated dome-shaped surface. [4] There have been a few cases reported with bilateral involvement and even widespread forms. [2] MCAH lesions do not seem to spontaneously remit; instead, they grow over weeks to months. [5]
