Multiple papulonodular lesions located over the nasolabial sulcus.

Abstract

A 54-year-old woman presented with multiple, skin colored, papulonodular lesions located on nose and nasolabial sulcus since 30 years. There were no other cutaneous lesions. A systemic examination was normal. There was a history of similar lesions on the face of one sister and two brothers. There was no history of consanguinity. Dermatologic examination showed multiple, skin colored, solid, 1-10 mm grouped papulonodular lesions, especially on the nose and nasolabial sulcus [Figure ​[Figure1a1a and ​andb].b]. Histopathologic examination showed a tumor consisting of multiple nodules within the dermis [Figure 2a], basaloid epithelial cells with focal follicular differentiation and small horn cysts [Figure 2b].
