SELF-HEALING CUTANEOUS MUCINOSIS

Self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis is a new entity distinct fro m previously described forms of cutaneous mucinosis. We present a new case in a 26-year-old female patient who began abruptly with a papular eruption, involving the scalp, face, neck and trunk, accompanied by p eriarticular papules on the hands and arthralgias. No associated disea se could be detected and the lesions resolved spontaneously within a f ew months. This is the first case described in an adult patient.
