Abstract:
True cutaneous chondromas are rare lesions with an uncertain pathogenesis. We report an unusual case of a patient with multiple cutaneous chondromas of the face. One of the patient's siblings, a brother, and that brother's son had similar facial lesions. We conclude that this familial pattern suggests an autosomal dominant mode of transmission.
