Summary

Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) and plaque-like cutaneous mucinosis are distinct but related conditions. Midline mucinoses, including REM, appear to be more common than previously believed.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) is a rare skin condition.
  • Cutaneous mucinoses represent a spectrum of diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze all published cases of REM until August 1987.
  • To clarify the classification and prevalence of midline mucinoses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published REM cases up to August 1987.
  • Analysis of disease classification and nomenclature.

Main Results:

  • REM and plaque-like cutaneous mucinosis are considered part of the same disease spectrum.
  • REM should not be classified as a syndrome.
  • REM and plaque-like cutaneous mucinosis are classified as midline mucinoses.
  • Midline mucinoses are likely more prevalent than previously thought.

Conclusions:

  • Reticular erythematous mucinosis and plaque-like cutaneous mucinosis are distinct entities within the spectrum of midline mucinoses.
  • The classification of REM as a midline mucinosis is supported by literature.
  • The increasing number of reported cases suggests a higher prevalence of midline mucinoses.
