Description

Koki Ito and co-authors present a skin quiz built around many yellow bumps on the forehead. Their 2026 piece begins with a Japanese woman aged sixty six. She had first noted the bumps in her early sixties. They grew in number over time, and she sought care for how they looked. She had no family history of note and took no drugs.

Exam found countless small yellow bumps, dense on both sides of the forehead. A few sat on the nose. Other areas were spared. The bumps were soft, not tender, and moved slightly. A scope view showed plain yellow areas with no center dip. Blood tests, including fats, were normal. A biopsy of one bump was taken. The quiz asks the reader to name the finding from the clinical and tissue results.
