Abstract:
Cutaneous focal mucinosis is a condition with an asymptomatic, small, dermal, white to flesh-colored papule with a predilection for the face, neck, trunk, and extremities. This is usually presented as solitary lesion but rarely as multiple papules or nodules. Histologically, a localized area of the collagen in the upper dermis is largely replaced by homogenous mucinous material in which spindle-shaped fibroblasts are scattered. We report a case of cutaneous focal mucinosis which was presented as multiple lesions covering widespread skin lesion throught the face, chest and back.
