Abstract：A 61-year-old female patient presented with a history of generalized erythema for over 20 years and recent onset of papules on the left cheek within the past two weeks.The dupilumab treatment was initiated three months ago due to the persistence of recurrent rashes for over two decades.Two weeks ago,the left cheek exhibited multiple skin-colored papules ranging in size from mung beans to soybeans A red nodule,approximately the size of a peanut,was noted in the temporal region.Histopathological examination of the nodular lesion revealed a nodule of the dermis exhibiting lobulated appearance and endogenous growth,as well as cells containing eosinophilic inclusions within the lesion.The patient was diagnosed with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and molluscum contagiosum.The treatment involved excision of the nodule in the left temporal region for biopsy,topical application of a wart removal preparation to the remaining lesions,and continuation of dupilumab therapy.
