Congenital cartilaginous rests of the neck

Cutis. 1996 Oct;58(4):293-4.

Abstract

We describe a case of congenital cartilaginous rests of the neck arising on the suprasternal midline area of the neck in a Korean infant. The lesion was characterized by discrete nodules of mature elastic cartilage in the lower dermis or superficial subcutaneous soft tissue and multiple vellus hair follicles in the overlying skin.
