Presentation

A 52-year-old man visited his doctor for a new growth on his nose. On examination, a smooth, faint pink papule with overlying scant telangiectasias was seen at the lateral nasal sidewall. A shave biopsy was performed, and histopathologic examination revealed reticular basaloid islands with peripheral palisading surrounded by fibroblasts and a cellular fibrotic stroma.
