SkIndia Quiz 4 - Asymptomatic sessile skin colored nodule over columella of nose

Abstract

A 38-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic, skin-colored nodule over the columella of his nose since one year which had gradually increased to the present size. There was no history of trauma, oozing, crusting or similar lesions elsewhere, nor was there any family history of similar lesions. Examination revealed a single, skin-colored, soft, nontender, sessile nodule, measuring 1.5 × 1 cm in size over the left side of the nasal columella [Figure 1]. The rest of the cutaneous and systemic examination was within normal limits. An excision biopsy was performed [Figures 2 and 3].
