Painful tumors of the skin present as dermal or subcutaneous nodules. They can originate from several sources: adipose tissue, cartilage degeneration, deposition of bone or calcium, eccrine glands, fibrous tissue, infiltration of benign (endometrium) or malignant (metastatic neoplasm) tissue, muscle, nerve, or vascular structures. Although pathologic evaluation of the lesion is necessary to determine the diagnosis, it is possible to make a reasonable differential diagnosis based on knowledge of prior tumors that have appeared as tender lesions. Two women with painful skin tumors – either osteoma cutis or an organizing thrombus – are described. Based on our clinical experience and review of the literature, 25 painful skin tumors were identified: c hondrodermatitis nodularis helicis, a ngioendotheliomatosis, l eiomyoma, m etastases, h idradenoma, o steoma cutis, g lomus tumor, f ibromyxoma, l eiomyosarcoma, e ccrine angiomatous hamartoma, D ercum’s disease, p eizogenic pedal papule, n eurilemmoma, a ngiolipoma, n euroma, d ermatofibroma, g ranular cell tumor, e ndometriosis, t hrombus, s car, b lue rubber bleb nevus, a ngioma, c alcinosis cutis, and k eloid. An acronym – inspired by Charlotte’s Web, a book that many children have read – that can be used as a memory aid for recalling the list of painful skin tumors is introduced: “CALM HOG FLED PEN AND GETS BACK”.

“…2 Metastases refers to cutaneous metastases; this category also includes B-and T-cell cutaneous lymphoma. 3 Hidradenoma is also referred to as clear cell acrospiroma, clear cell hidradenoma, eccrine acrospiroma, nodular hidradenoma, and solid-cystic hidradenoma. 4 Fibromyxoma refers to a digital fibromyxoma, which is known as a superficial acral fibromyxoma.…”

“…Acronyms have been used as memory aids to assist in listing the potential possibilities for a painful skin lesion; specifically, the first letter of each tumor is used to create either a word or a phrase or a sentence. Glomus tumor, leiomyoma, eccrine spiradenoma, neuroma/neurilemmoma, dermatofibroma, and angiolipoma (GLENDA) and eccrine spiradenoma, neuroma, glomus tumor, leiomyoma, angiolipoma, neurilemmoma, and dermatofibroma (ENGLAND) were early acronyms for cutaneous tender tumors [1][2][3]. In 1993, Naversen [3].…”
