“…The latest classification of dermal mucinosis was established by Rongioletti and Rebora in 2001. 4 , 5 They differentiated two main groups of dermal mucinosis: the generalized form or scleromyxedema, which has a constant association with systemic disorders (like paraproteinemia) or less frequently with hematologic malignancies; and the localized form, which does not have a systemic involvement, also called lichen myxedematosus (LM). Cases not meeting the criteria for scleromyxedema or localized form are classified as atypical.…”

Acral persistent papular mucinosis (APPM) is a rare subtype of localized lichen myxedematosus. It consists of small papules localized exclusively on the back of the hands, wrists and extensor aspects of distal forearms with no other clinical or laboratory manifestations. The lesions tend to persist and may increase slowly in number. Histologically, hematoxylin-eosin and Alcian blue staining demonstrate mucin accumulation in the upper reticular dermis with separation of collagen fibers as a result of hyaluronic acid deposition. Treatment is rarely necessary due to the absence of symptoms. We present a 27-year-old healthy woman with asymptomatic papules on her upper extremities, which adequately meet clinical and pathological criteria of acral papular mucinosis.

“…Rongioletti and Rebora in 2001 proposed several diagnostic criteria for APPM and, to date, there have been more than 30 reported cases of this entity that met the criteria ( Table 1 ). 2 Three cases showed family history. 3 Clinically, it is characterized by small flesh-colored, papules that most often are symmetrically localized on the back of the hands, wrists and extensor aspects of distal forearms.…”
