Sumario:Scleromyxedema is an uncommon and progressive fibromucinous disorder characterized by disseminated papular eruption with histological features of dermal mucin deposition. The skin changes associated with this disease are highly visible and they tend to affect the patient’s quality of life. We report a case of a 50-year-old male patient that presented a 3-year-old history of disseminated asymptomatic firm papules-associated systemic symptoms. Medical treatment with oral corticosteroid and thalidomide was indicated and surgical treatment on residual facial folds was performed, with an excellent outcome.
