Self-healing juvenile cutaneous XXXX .

A healthy 14-month-old black @entity1 presented with a 3-week complaint of "knots" on the face and hands. The lesions were acute in onset and asymptomatic. Multiple, firm, nontender, skin-colored to erythematous nodules were noted on the scalp, forehead, axillae, lower legs, abdomen, and hands. A skin biopsy specimen revealed a well-circumscribed accumulation of @entity3558 in the @entity2363 . Colloidal @entity68 stain was positive. Radiographs showed soft tissue prominence only. Serum protein electrophoresis, thyroid function tests, complete blood count, sedimentation rate, and antinuclear antibody were normal, except for @entity6113 . Findings were consistent with self-healing juvenile cutaneous @entity11105 (SHJCM). SHJCM is a condition of unknown etiology characterized by rapid onset of asymptomatic, indurated papules or nodules. Affected @entity1 may have @entity4841 , but are otherwise well. Spontaneous resolution is the rule. Most @entity272 in our @entity1 had resolved within 6 months of onset. This @entity1 is unique because of the young age of onset.
