Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease, with an incidence of 1/2,500-3,000 births and a prevalence of approximately 1/4,000-5,000 individuals. Genetic mutations in the NF1 gene cause it, affecting neural and skin tissues. Glomus tumor is a benign neoplasm originating from the glomus, a neuromyoatrial structure of the skin present at the fingertips and involved in thermoregulation. The literature historically considered these tumors isolated and sporadic, but some studies have proved a relationship with neurofibromatosis type I. Thus, patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 should be investigated. The case report provides additional support for the notion that NF1 has a risk associated with multiple glomus tumors.

Tattooing is an ancient practice and very popular nowadays. The pigments used have changed over time but still present varied and poorly regulated compositions. There are many described cases of adverse effects after tattooing, mainly infectious and hypersensitivity reactions. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman, healthy, with papules on her eyebrows one month after performing micropigmentation. The excisional biopsy diagnosed molluscum contagiosum, and the lesions were curetted. There are few reports in the literature of the spread of molluscum contagiosum caused by tattooing.
