Localized lichen myxedematosus (LM) is an idiopatic cutaneus mucinosis, whith can be clinically classified into four forms: (1) a discrete papular form involving any site, (2) acral persistent papular mucinosis, involving only the extensor surface of the hands and wrists, (3) papular mucinosis of infancy, a pediatric variant of the discrete form or the acral form of persistent papular mucinosis, and (4) a nodular form. A LM case, in its localized form, is described on the face of a male pacient.
