CASE REPORT

A 41-year-old woman presented with multiple asymptomatic flesh-coloured papules distributed over the cheeks and nose. The lesions had been slowly progressive in number during the last eight months. A complete physical examination revealed numerous firm, nontender, dome-shaped lesions on the face, neck and back (figure 1). The patient denied any family history of similar dermatological findings or significant medical history. A punch biopsy was performed.
