Discrete Acral Papular Mucinosis

“…9 In general, cutaneous mucinoses can be divided according to the microscopic location of mucin into dermal and follicular mucinoses. 10 The former group includes lichen myxedematosus, acral persistent papular mucinosis, reticular erythematous mucinosis, scleredema, dysthyroidotic mucinoses (ie, localized myxedema, generalized myxedema, 11,12 papular mucinoses associated with thyroid diseases), papular and nodular mucinosis associated with lupus erythematosus, self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis, cutaneous mucinosis of the infancy, cutaneous toxic mucinoses (papular mucinosis of the toxic oil syndrome and eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome), neuropathia mucinosa cutanea, cutaneous focal mucinosis, and mucous cyst (digital and of the oral mucosa), whereas the latter group includes Pinkus follicular mucinosis and urticaria-like follicular mucinosis.…”
