Case report reports clinical presentation of rare benign scalp nodules in a young adult male, highlighting diagnostic considerations for atypical cranial lesions.
A 37-year-old male (Fitzpatrick skin type III) presented with a 10-month history of an enlarging nodule on the right parietal scalp. There was a paternal history of melanoma, but no family history of similar skin lesions. Physical examination revealed an ill-defined, pink, round, non-tender, mobile nodule measuring 15 x 15 mm. A second similar papule measuring 6 x 5 mm was found at the right scalp apex.
