Obesity-Associated Lymphedematous Mucinosis: Two Further Cases and Review of the Literature

Cutaneous mucinoses are a group of conditions characterized by increased amounts of acid mucin in the dermis. They can be generalized or localized and occur isolated or in the setting of systemic diseases. Obesity-associated lymphedematous mucinosis is a distinct variant of mucinosis occurring in ob...

description Cutaneous mucinoses are a group of conditions characterized by increased amounts of acid mucin in the dermis. They can be generalized or localized and occur isolated or in the setting of systemic diseases. Obesity-associated lymphedematous mucinosis is a distinct variant of mucinosis occurring in obese patients without any thyroid dysfunction. So far, only few cases of this rare condition have been reported in the English literature. Here, we describe two new cases and discuss some histological differences with the pretibial myxedema.
