Mucinoses
Introduction

There are 6 types of cutanous mucinosis (generalized myxedema of hypothyreoidism, pretibial myxedema in thyreotoxicosis, lichen myxedematosus , reticular erythematous mucinosis, self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis, scleredema). Mucin is accumulated in some tumors as well (myxoma).

Skleromyxedema is characterized by fibroblastic proliferation within the areas with mucin deposits.
