Connective tissue nevi are benign hamartomas that usually appear as widespread, multiple, papular, skin lesions. They are subdivided into collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and mixed type, depending on their particular histopathologic features, and they often appear as a component of Buschke–Ollendorff Syndrome.
