Abstract

Cutaneous focal mucinosis is a rare condition that manifests with asymptomatic small white to flesh-colored papules on the face, neck, trunk and extremities. Johnson and Helwig first described it in 1961 and it is histologically characterized by localized accumulation of mucin in the upper and mid-dermis with scattered spindle-shaped fibroblasts. We report here on a case of cutaneous focal mucinosis that presented as a nodule with several small papules on it on the face.
