ABSTRACT

We present a case of acral papular persistent mucinosis(APPM). A 69 years old woman had 2-4mm flesh-colored papules on the back of her hands and extensor wrist. Examination of biopsy specimen showed focal mucin deposition in papillary and upper reticular dermis. APPM is a mucinosis subtype which has a benign and persistent course, without systemic involvement. Controversy exist as to wether this subtype should be considered a new entity o as a variant of the discrete papular form of lichen myxedematosus.
