Multiple firm mobile swellings over the scalp.

Abstract

A 30-year-old female presented with multiple, asymptomatic swellings over the scalp [Figure 1] since the past 1 year. Initially, patient noticed a small pea-sized swelling over the vertex, which gradually increased in size and similar lesions developed over different areas of the scalp. The lesions were mostly asymptomatic except for occasional pain due to trauma induced by combing. There was no history of preceding trauma and none of the other family members had a similar complaint. Clinical examination revealed eight firm, well-defined swellings located discretely over the vertex, parietal, and occipital regions of the scalp.
