Abstract

Clear cell acanthoma (CCA) is a benign epidermal tumour with distinctive and uniform clinical and histological features. Although solitary lesions are the rule, some cases of multiple CCA, rarely with more than 10 lesions, have been previously reported. Only 22 cases of multiple CCA have been described in the English literature to date. A healthy 32-year-old woman is reported, with approximately 400 asymptomatic rounded papules, on the upper and lower extremities. Multiple skin biopsies showed the typical histological pictures of CCA. This case appears unusual because of the presence of numerous lesions scattered on the upper and lower extremities. For this reason it could be classified as disseminated eruptive CCA.
