“…Lichen myxedematosus variants, such as discrete papular mucinosis or the form with urticarial plaques and nodules [3,4], were thought to be unlikely as the clinical aspect was somewhat different and the histopathological cpidermotropism typical of lichenoid diseases was absent in the examined lesions. Under the diagnosis 'atypical tuberous myx edema Jadassohn-Dossekker'2 cases with multiple tumors, lacking dif fuse swelling of the skin and largely without papular efflorescences were reported [5,6).…”

A 32-year-old Turkish man with a progressive appearance of indolent, skin-colored nodules on the trunk and proximal extremities is presented. Clinical and laboratory examinations did not reveal any other relevant abnormalities. Histological specimens showed focal, ill-defined depositions of acid mucopolysaccharides mainly in the reticular dermis. Collagen fibers were split up and separated. Ultrastructurally, activated fibroblasts and an increased synthesis of collagen fibrils and elastic microfibrils as well as numerous macrophages were noticed. Diagnostically, an unusual multiple type of cutaneous focal mucinosis is most likely.

Scleromyxedema is a rare mucinous disease without thyroid dysfunction, associated with a monoclonal gammopathy. The deposits of mucin in the skin and other organs such as the cardiovasculary system, determine the prognosis of the disease. A 74-year old patient with initial scleromyxedema is described, in whom a pulse therapy with melphalan was initiated already in the early stages of the disease. Four cycles of melphalan in combination with prednisolon led to a complete and sofar stable remission of the disease.
