Abstract:
Lupus erythematosus has a wide spectrum of cutaneous manifestations, including periorbital mucinosis. We report 3 cases of periorbital mucinosis occurring in association with other cutaneous signs of lupus erythematosus. Based on a review of the literature, periorbital mucinosis is a rare and not widely recognized clinical manifestation of the disease. Although unusual, familiarity with periorbital mucinosis as a manifestation of lupus erythematosus broadens our understanding of these entities and expands the spectrum of cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
