Fibrous papule of the nose is a harmless small bump on or near the nose. It is typically dome-shaped, skin-colored, white or reddish, smooth and firm. [1] [2] Less frequently it can occur elsewhere on the face. [3] Sometimes there are a few. [1] It may be shiny and remains unchanged for life. There may be a central hair. [3] The precise cause ...
Oral Fordyce granules appear as rice-like granules, white or yellow-white in color. They are painless papules (small bumps), about 1–3 mm in greatest dimension. The most common site is along the line between the vermilion border and the oral mucosa of the upper lip, or on the buccal mucosa (inside the cheeks) in the commissural region, [ 10 ...
A papule is a small, well-defined bump in the skin. [2] It may have a rounded, pointed or flat top, and may have a dip. [2] It can appear with a stalk, be thread-like or look warty. [3] It can be soft or firm and its surface may be rough or smooth. [2] Some have crusts or scales. [2]
Nodules are discrete, generally symmetric, hyperpigmented and firm. They are greater than 0.5 cm in both width and depth (as opposed to papules which are less than 0.5 cm). The nodules of PN can appear on any part of the body, but generally are found in areas where patients are able to reach to scratch.
Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) of the skin is a low-grade malignancy related to malignant fibrous histiocytoma, which it resembles histologically. [2]: 613 Atypical fibroxanthoma manifests as a hard, pink or red papule or nodule that grows over the course of several months and may bleed or ulcerate. They typically occur on the head and neck.
Lupus vulgaris (also known as tuberculosis luposa [1]) are painful cutaneous tuberculosis skin lesions with nodular appearance, most often on the face around the nose, eyelids, lips, cheeks, ears [2] and neck. It is the most common Mycobacterium tuberculosis skin infection. [3] The lesions may ultimately develop into disfiguring skin ulcers if ...
SCC of the skin begins as a small nodule and as it enlarges the center becomes necrotic and sloughs and the nodule turns into an ulcer, and generally are developed from an actinic keratosis. Once keratinocytes begin to grow uncontrollably, they have the potential to become cancerous and produce cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma. [22]
Nodular fasciitis occurs in all age groups but most often affects those between 20–40 years old. Males and females are equally affected. NF tumors, which may be tender or painful, typically present as rapidly growing solitary lesions that reach their final size (usually 2–3 cm) within a few weeks. [10]
