Abstract
Three clinical forms of IM have been described: solitary cutaneous nodules, multiple cutaneous nodules and generalized MI with visceral involvement. The prognosis is good except in generalized MI. All familial cases of MI may be interpreted as autosomal dominant or alternatively there may be genetic heterogeneity. Strict follow-up is recommended to identify potentially life-threatening complications. Spontaneous regression usually occurs but in some cases the treatment of choice is surgical removal.
