Abstract :
A 45-year-old man presented with multiple ulcerated and
erythematous nodules on his scalp. The first lesion appeared on
his vertex as an erythematous plaque five years ago and there
was gradual increase in size and number of the lesions ever
since. He was otherwise healthy.
Physical examination showed multiple erythematous nodules,
some were crusted, on the vertex (Fig.1). No lymphadenopathy
was detected and general examination was unremarkable.
The scalp lesion was biopsied and immunohistochemical staining
was performed on the specimen.
