Abstract

A 60-year-old patient is presented, with a history of current smoking (60 packs/year), arterial hypertension and osteoporosis under treatment with enalapril, calcium and vitamin D. She consulted for occasionally pruritic lesions in the neck, of 2 years of evolution. The physical examination revealed skin-colored papules, some slightly yellowish, located in the posterior and lateral region of the neck, symmetrically distributed and soft in consistency. There were no other lesions in the rest of the integument.
