Abstract
A 66-year-old man presented to the office asking for evaluation of a lesion on his nose. The patient explained that the lesion had been present for over a year, had a history of bleeding and then scabbing over, and had grown slightly in size. Upon visual inspection, the lesion appeared as a smooth pearly pink papule with telangiectatic vessels. The patient had not had any prior treatment for the lesion. His past medical history was significant for sunburns as a child as well as extensive sun exposure as a retired construction worker.
