Summary : A 37-year-old man presented with a 2-year history of a slowly enlarging asymptomatic plaque on the right shoulder. He reported that the lesion had begun with a small papule gradually spreading to involve most of the scapular site with central regression. His medical background was unremarkable. Physical examination revealed a 11 x 8 cm plaque on the right shoulder with erythematous follicular papules and raspberry-like nodules. Besides, a keratosis follicularis was observed. No adenopathy or organomegaly was detected. Laboratory evaluation, including routine parameters, lymphocytes differentiation, serology for HIV and Borrelia Burgdorferi, all were within normal limits. Three nodules were excised and histopathologically examined.
