Abstract

Dermal mucinosis is characterized by the deposition of glycosaminoglycans (mucin), either focally or diffusely within the dermis. This may occur as a primary idiopathic disorder or secondary to several dermatoses, most notably lupus erythematous, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis. The authors present an unusual finding of dermal mucinosis in association with chronic sclerodermoid graft-versus-host disease.
