We present a case of eruptive collagenomas of the skin in a young girl. The typical clinical features and histology of this rare condition are described. The differential diagnosis and other types of cutaneous collagenomas are briefly discussed. A biopsy is required to confirm the excessive mature collagen which predominates in these lesions.
