Abstract
Introduction: Eruptive collagenoma is a rare type of connective tissue naevi with predominant extra-cellular matrix component being collagen. Lesions are characterized by abrupt history of onset.
Case Report: An 18-year-old female with a clinical diagnosis of Down syndrome presented with abrupt onset of skin colored nodules on upper back and mons pubis. Lesions were asymptomatic. On examination multiple, firm, discrete, non-tender, flesh colored nodules were present on upper 2/3 of back and mons pubis. Histopathology aided with Masson's trichome stain confirmed the diagnosis of collagenoma.
Conclusion: The association of collagenoma has been known with various systemic disorders but its alliance with Down syndrome and localization over mons pubis has still not been reported.

Keywords: Eruptive collagenoma, Down syndrome, Mons pubis, Flesh colored modules
