Abstract
A 16-year-old girl presented with asymptomatic compressible blue-hued nodules on the medial aspect of her left hand (Fig. 29.1). Nodules had been present since she was 13 years old. The lesions did not increase in size or in the number and there was no family history of a similar condition. She was otherwise healthy, with no other lesions on her body.
