Familial cutaneous collagenoma (FCC) is an inherited disorder first described by Henderson, Wheeler, and Abele 1 Henderson RR Wheeler CE Abele DC Familial cutaneous collagenoma. Arch Dermatol. 1968; 98: 23-27 Crossref PubMed Scopus (34) Google Scholar in 1968. A second family with similar findings of inherited, cutaneous nodules resulting from increased collagen deposition was reported by Uitto, Santa-Cruz, and Eisen. 2 Uitto J Santa-Cruz DJ Eisen AZ Familial cutaneous collagenoma: genetic studies on a family. Br J Dermatol. 1979; 101: 185-195 Crossref PubMed Scopus (66) Google Scholar Autosomal dominant inheritance was established in this family. Hegedus and Schorr 3 Hegedus SI Schorr WF Familial cutaneous collagenoma. Cutis. 1972; 10: 283-288 Google Scholar reported a female patient with similar nodules but without documented familial involvement. We present two additional cases of cutaneous collagenoma occurring in a mother and daughter and review the differential diagnosis of these asymptomatic cutaneous nodules.
