Case Report: Acquired collagenoma on the dorsum of the foot

Abstract

Collagenoma is a rare benign skin lesion classified as a hamartomatous proliferation of normal collagen fibres and varying amounts of elastic fibres. They most frequently occur on the arms or trunk and may present as solitary or multiple lesions, as part of a syndrome (such as Cowden Syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis, or MEN1) or sporadic and of varying sizes. Herein, we report on a case of large acquired collagenomas found in an unusual location on the dorsum of both feet.
