Abstract
|
|
|
|
Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) is a rare chronic dermatosis, in which cutaneous musinosis is associated with chronic reticular erythema, mostly located on the central part of upper chest and back. Less commonly, lesions can bo found on the face, arms, abdomen, and groins. The pathogenesis and etiology of REM remain undefined at present. A mild to pronounced lymphocytic infiltrate and mucin deposition in dermis are characteristic histologic feature. We herein report on a case of REM on cheeks and forearms, successfully treated with antimalarials with emphasis on the clinical and histopathologic findings.
