Nodular lichen myxedematosus ( LM ) is a rare disease and is one of the five subtypes of localized LM . It is distinctly characterized by multiple nodules on the trunk and limbs with or without papular lesions. A healthy 6‐year‐old boy presented with complaints of “knots” on his right chest, upper limb, and thigh for 4 months. To our knowledge this is the first case of nodular LM reported in a child.
