Self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis

“…Alcian blue at pH 0.5 and periodic acidϪSchiff staining are usually negative. [2][3][4]6,9 The proliferative histology characteristic of the nodules of our patient differs significantly from these previous reports. Only the report by Wadee, Roode, and Schulz 5 describes similar cellular proliferation of nodular lesions that is distinct from the papular lesions.…”

“…Finally, hard periorbital edema developed, similar to that described by Caputo, Grimalt, and Gelmetti. 3 This was perhaps the most striking clinical finding in our patient.…”

“…Small, nontender, flesh-colored papules are commonly seen on the head, neck, trunk, and periarticular areas and may have a corrugated appearance. [1][2][3][4][5][6]8 In our patient, these lesions were most pronounced over the knuckles of the hands, on the forehead, and extensor surfaces of the knees. Deep nodules typically develop on the face, scalp, and periarticular regions.…”

Beyond Classification: A Unique Case of Self‐Resolving Cutaneous Mucinosis Associated With Streptococcal Infection in a Child

“…SHJCM typically presents with an acute eruption often accompanied by systemic symptoms like fever and arthralgia, which were absent in our patient. Additionally, while SHJCM may involve skin induration and sclerotic plaques, its distribution pattern (nodules on the face, papules in periarticular regions) differs from our case [5, 15, 18, 23]. Notably, while an infectious etiology of the upper respiratory tract has been described in a few cases of SHJCM [15], to date, the reported cases have not shown a specific association with streptococcal infection, which is a key feature in our patient's history.…”

Self-Healing Juvenile Cutaneous Mucinosis: A Case Report in the Middle East

“…Lesions are associated with absent to mild inflammatory symptoms such as arthralgia, fever, weakness and muscle tenderness, and lack extracutaneous involvement. Other symptoms include painful polyarthritis or transient hypertension, as well as swelling of the knees, elbows, and hands [5,6,8]. With reference to our case, the diagnosis of SHJCM was mainly based on the clinical course coupled with the histologic findings.…”
