A 34-year-old African American man presented to our clinic for evaluation of enlarging purple nodules over his neck. The lesions, which had first appeared two months earlier, caused significant itching. A painful rash had preceded the nodules by about a month, but the eruption had resolved after about a week. The patient, who was HIV-positive, reported that his CD4 count had been stable on antiretroviral therapy. A physical examination revealed no other lesions or abnormalities. There was no family history of similar nodules. The patient wanted to know what could be done for these new lesions.
