A 56-year-old woman presented with small, skin-colored papules on the trunk and thighs. Histopathologic findings were consistent with papular mucinosis. Laboratory evaluation did not show an associated paraproteinemia. Treatment with topical glucocorticoids was unsuccessful. Papular mucinosis, also known as localized lichen myxedematosus, has been categorized into 4 subtypes. The discrete papular form, as seen in our patient, is characterized by a few to multiple, 2-5-mm, skin-colored, firm, waxy, dome-shaped papules on the trunk and proximal aspects of the extremities. By definition there is no associated paraproteinemia, but this form may be associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Focal or diffuse mucinous deposits are seen on histopathologic examination. The usual clinical course is slow cutaneous progression without spontaneous resolution. Treatment is empiric and is usually unsuccessful.
