چکیده
are well documented but uncommon.[2,4] The lesions of SCAP measure between 1 and 3 cm in diameter[3] and all published cases of nodular SCAP have to date measured <4 cm in diameter.[4] A vast majority of SCAPs are solitary lesions, and linear arrangement of these lesions is particularly rare.[5] In 2001, Patterson et al., described that there had been only eight previous cases of linear SCAP. Five of these most recently reported cases occurred on the chest, left arm, neck and right thigh.[5] In contrast to the diverse clinical appearances, the histology of SCAP is uniform and characteristic, offering a reliable tool for the diagnosis.[2]
