Abstract:
Cutaneous or dermal mucinoses are a heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders in which there is an accumulation of mucin in the skin or within the hair follicle. They have a number of different morphologic presentations and can often be confused with other diseases. We report a 12-year-old Chinese girl with a 1-year history of a well-defined, hypopigmented plaque on her chin, consistent with cutaneous focal mucinosis, a rare condition in children.
