A 64-year-old woman with no notable medical history was referred to our dermatology clinic with an intermittent eczematous rash around the eyelids of 3 months’ duration. While performing a total-body skin examination, a firm pink nodule with a smooth surface incidentally was discovered on the umbilicus. The patient was uncertain when the lesion first appeared and denied any associated symp-toms including pain and bleeding. Additionally, a lymph node examination revealed right inguinal lymphadenopathy. Upon further questioning, she reported worsening muscle weakness, fatigue, night sweats, and an unintentional weight loss of 10 pounds. A 6-mm punch biopsy of the umbilical lesion was obtained for routine histopathology.
