A 2-year-old patient living in a rural area of southern Israel was referred to our dermatology clinic because of several lesions on the scalp which had slowly developed over the previous four weeks. On examination, a few ulcerated pulsating nodules were present (Fig. 1). Scrapings from the lesions are shown in Figure 2.
