ABSTRACT
Connective tissue nevi (CTN) are hamartomas of the dermis, with the 3 main components being collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans. Each subtype can present as a solitary lesion or multiple lesions. They could present as part of systemic diseases or inherited disorders. This article provides a comprehensive literature review of the different types of CTN, their clinical presentations, associations, and treatment options. Treatment options for 56 lesions were reviewed. Fifty-two percent of lesions were present in males, and the age range at the time of presentation was wide (1.6-80 years). Management varied according to CTN subtypes. Most lesions (14) received topical or intralesional treatment with corticosteroids, followed by surgical removal of lesions (12), whereas the remaining lesions were clinically monitored.
