Abstract
A 7-year-old shar-pei was presented because of a recurrent dermatologic con dition. Skin biopsies revealed an idiopathic (primary) cutaneous mucinosis that initially responded to corticosteroids. The condition reappeared 2 yea rs later and subsequent biopsies revealed a mast cell tumor in some of the skin sites previously diagnosed with mucinosis.
