Abstract
Self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis is an extremely uncommon disorder characterized by the acute eruption of multiple papules and subcutaneous nodules. In this report, we describe one of the youngest patients reported to date with self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis and further define several of the histologic and clinical characteristics unique to the disorder. Awareness of this disease is important because, despite an ominous presentation, all reported cases have resolved spontaneously. Therefore, aggressive therapy should be avoided.
