Abstract
A 73-year-old man presented to the plastic surgery department with a single, progressively enlarging nodule on the scalp of 1 year's duration.Dermatologic examination revealed a 0.8-cm, soft, mobile, gray-blue, dome-shaped papule on the left postauricular scalp that was tender to palpation.There was no central punctum, and the patient denied any history of drainage or odor.He had no personal or family history of similar lesions.An excisional biopsy of the papule was performed.
