Connective tissue nevi are rare skin conditions. This case highlights eruptive collagenoma, a type characterized by increased dermal collagen, presenting as multiple lesions without other symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Connective tissue nevi (CTN) are uncommon hamartomas with varied clinical and histological presentations.
  • Diagnosis is often delayed due to diverse morphology, making clinical suspicion challenging.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of multiple connective tissue nevi.
  • The lesions exhibited a predominance of dermal collagen deposition.
  • No extracutaneous manifestations or family history of CTN were noted.

Findings:

  • Histological examination defined CTN as dermal areas with altered collagen, elastin, or glycosaminoglycans.
  • The specific case was classified as eruptive collagenoma due to excessive collagen.
  • The absence of systemic findings is a key characteristic.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of connective tissue nevi presentations.
  • Recognizing eruptive collagenoma aids in accurate clinical diagnosis and classification.
  • Further research into the specific etiology of collagenoma is warranted.
