Abstract
True cutaneous chondromas are rare lesions with an uncertain pathogene sis. We report an unusual case of a patient with multiple cutaneous ch ondromas of the face. One of the patient's siblings, a brother, and th at brother's son had similar facial lesions. We conclude that this fam ilial pattern suggests an autosomal dominant mode of transmission.
