Abstract

Papular mucinosis (PM) (lichen myxoedematosus) is a unique, chronic idiopathic disease characterized by lichenoid papules or nodules due todermal mucin deposition and a variable degree of fibrosis. PM is a quite rare disease of unknown etiology, with fewer than one hundred andfifty cases reported. In this paper, we present two cases of PM with no associated monoclonal gammopathy in two male patients aged 75 and38 years, for its rare occurrence in the literature.

Özet

Papüler müsinozis (PM) (liken miksödematozis) likenoid papüller ve nodüller, dermal müsin birikimi ve değişken derecedeki fibrozis ile karakterize derinin oldukça nadir, kronik ve idiyopatik bir hastalığıdır. PM etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, literatürde yüz elli olgudan daha az bildirilmiş olan, oldukça nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Literatürde seyrek görülmesi nedeniyle ek bir hastalıkla ilişkili olmayan iki PM olgumuzu sunmak istedik. Burada, 75 ve 38 yaşında iki erkek PM’li hasta monoklonal gammopati olmaksızın nadir olarak görüldüğünden dolayı sunulmaktadır.
