We present a case of a female neonate with a cluster of six skin colored to yellowish pseudovesicular papules on her right forearm present since birth, initially thought to be a herpes simplex virus infection. Punch biopsy with immunostaining revealed a diagnosis of S100‐negative, CD163‐positive congenital cutaneous non‐neural granular cell tumor. Only four other reports are presented in the literature of this entity, three of which also presented on the arm with somewhat similar clinical findings. We briefly reviewed the subtypes of classic and S100‐negative non‐neural granular cell tumors.
