Linear morphea with secondary mucinosis
Khandpur, Sujay; Singh, Saurabh; Sharma, Vinod K; Gupta, Ruchika & Singh, Manoj K
Abstract
Secondary mucin deposition in the skin is a common feature of lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis. In scleroderma, it occurs uncommonly or in small amount. We describe a 7-year-old boy with progressive, linear, bound-down plaques involving the thighs, lower abdomen and back with no systemic involvement. Histopathology showed features of scleroderma with abundant mucin deposition in the reticular dermis. This report highlights excessive mucin deposition in lesions of morphea.
