A 30-year old man has this lesion on his body. It has been present for 2 years. What is the most appropriate morphologic term to describe this lesion?
Papule: a circumscribed palpable elevation, less than 1 cm in diameter. The only distinction between a papule and a nodule is the size, and this is aificial; some lesions characteristically occur at the smaller size of a papule, whereas others typically enlarge from a papule to become a nodule. Nodules have a deeper component and are better palpated than seen.
