Abstract:
Collagen nevi, or hamartomas, are abnormal collagen growths in the skin. These lesions have a varied presentation. Mostly, these lesions are harmless, usually associated with cosmetological concerns. This is the case of a 20-year-old male patient with multiple skin-colored lesions on his back since the age of 10 years. The patient was managed by surgical excision of the lesions. He was followed up at three months post-procedure, which showed the patient recovering well with no recurrences.
