Abstract
Papular mucinosis is a rare, papular eruption caused by the dermal dep osition of mucin. Three clinical subtypes have been described. The evo lution is usually chronic and no effective treatment is available. Pap ular mucinosis has recently been reported in patients with AIDS. We de scribe another case of papular mucinosis in an HIV patient with an unc ommonly rapid, total regression.
