What Are This Woman's Widespread Asymptomatic Nodules?

摘要

A 54-year-old Chinese woman presented with primarily cosmetic concerns about numerous brownish spots and nodules on her body. She found the nodules socially embarrassing and wondered whether the nodules could be removed noninvasively. She recalled that the brownish spots had been present since early childhood, and that the nodules had become more apparent at age 25 years, when she had been pregnant. The brownish spots and nodules had increased in size and number with time.
