Abstract:
Scleromyxoedema is a rare skin disease characterized by the deposition of hyaluronic acid in the papillary dermis and often associated with the presence of a monoclonal para protein. Patients with this disorder may also have systemic manifestations. A case of a patient with biopsy proven scleromyxoedema who, in addition to the skin changes had a steroid responsive myopathy and polysynovitis is presented.
