Case report examines dermal tumours in a male patient, suggesting modern dermatology practices can enhance diagnosis.
A male in his 20s presented with multiple asymptomatic, skin-coloured to brownish papules over the anterior neck and upper chest for 3 years. Examination revealed smooth, shiny, flat-topped papules (1–4 mm), with no other cutaneous or systemic findings. Dermoscopy showed a regular brownish pigment network and tiny whitish dots between lesions. Histopathology revealed dermal tumours with proliferating ductules and basaloid cell nests forming round to comma-shaped structures within a fibrotic stroma.
