Multiple small reddish brown papules are seen varing from 2mm to 10mm in size. that clinically appear to be benign, but histologically show features in common with squamous cell carcinoma in situ. The clinical diagnosis commonly, but erroneously, given to this entity include lichen planus, verruca vulgaris. condyloma accuminatum, granuloma annulare and nevocellular nevus.
