A woman presented with a history of three regressive comas of undetectable etiology between the age of 52 and 57 years. An IgG lambda benign monoclonal dysglobulinemia was combined with a papular mucinosis (myxedematous lichen or the generalized form of Arndt-Gotton's scleromyxedema). In the 6
BACKGROUND
Mucinoses represent a puzzling and heterogeneous group of rare diseases, and self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis is an extremely rare disease among them.
METHODS
A scleroedematous condition of the face, associated with papular lesions and arthropathies, had occurred in a 5-year-old
BACKGROUND
Papular mucinosis is an uncommon condition sometimes associated with myopathy as in our case.
METHODS
A 54-year-old woman presented several disseminated pruriginous papules that spread progressively. Histopathology of a skin biopsy showed mucine deposits and fibroblasts in the derma.
A case of dermal mucinosis and musculoskeletal symptoms simulating polymyositis as a presenting sign of hypothyroidism is presented. The patient presented muscle weakness and edema of the face including the eyelids. Laboratory examination revealed elevated creatinine phosphokinase, decreased
Cutaneous mucinosis secondary to autoimmune collagen vascular disease is well recognized, but manifestation as cellulitis-like massive cutaneous mucinosis preceding dermatomyositis is unusual. Here we report a 21-year-old Taiwanese woman with a large, rapid onset, painful erythematous, edematous
BACKGROUND
Digital mucous cysts (DMCs) are benign, translucent, fluid-filled asymptomatic, slow-growing, dome-shaped nodules overlying a joint or tendon sheath on the distal dorsal side of the fingers or, more rarely, on the toes. They are degenerative in nature and are often associated with
This patient was a 30-year-old woman who was in the 8th week of her first pregnancy with three embryos. She developed fever, myalgia and weakness of the proximal muscles, and erythema of the face, dorsal aspects of elbows, and knees. Routine blood examinations showed elevated serum CK.
BACKGROUND
In humans, scleromyxoedema is a chronic progressive skin condition traditionally characterized by deposits of mucin, increased number of fibroblasts and fibrosis in the skin, and by systemic disease. Thyroid disease is typically absent. A monoclonal gammopathy is usually present, as are
We report a 38-year-old man systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with an acute onset of paraplegia and urinary retention. The man had a 12-year history of nodular cutaneous mucinosis and arthralgia. In 1994, he was admitted to our hospital with a sudden onset of weakness and numbness of the
OBJECTIVE
To describe an unusual focal scleroderma-like skin changes in patient with dermatomyositis.
METHODS
Review of clinical records, laboratory investigations, and muscle and skin biopsies.
RESULTS
The patient developed unusual skin lesions characterized by symmetrical atrophy and hardening of
BACKGROUND
Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2 represents an uncommon endocrine disorder composed by Addison's disease with autoimmune thyroid disease (Schmidt's syndrome) and/or type 1 diabetes mellitus. Scleromyxedema is a rare progressive cutaneous mucinosis usually associated with systemic
BACKGROUND
Edematous dermatomyositis is a rare entity with localized or generalized subcutaneous edema and only 21 cases have been reported in the literature. It is considered to be a severe form of dermatomyositis which needs quick therapeutic decision. We report 2 cases with difficult therapeutic
A 47-year-old woman visited a clinic with dyspnea which had continued for two months and was followed by general fatigue and fever. Antibiotics were not effective. Edematous erythema occurred on her face, elbows, knees and feet, and she entered our hospital. A skin biopsy revealed interface
Scleromyxedema (SM) is a sclerotic variant of lichen or papular mucinosis in which lichenoid papules and scleroderma-like features are both present. It is a rare deposition disorder characterized by generalized papular and sclerodermoid eruptions, mucin deposition, increased fibroblast
A 41-year-old white man is described with papules of the lower and upper back, the neck and the upper chest, a marked deposition of mucin in the upper reticular dermis, and an IgG lambda monoclonal gammopathy strongly evocative of scleromyxedema (lichen myxedematosus). Additionally, he developed
