Abstract

A 60-year-old man with a history of hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypercholesterolemia treated with hydrochlorothiazide, aerosolized budesonide-formoterol and rosuvastatin, consulted for an asymptomatic lesion on the left leg, one year old. Physical examination revealed an erythematous cupuliform tumor lesion, with a hyperkeratotic center, rounded, 4 mm in diameter, located in the left internal patellar region. Total excision of the lesion was performed.
