Abstract
Scleromyxoedema, also known as generalized lichen myxoedematosus, is a cutaneous mucinosis characterized by a generalized papular and sclerodermoid eruption, mucin deposition, increased fibroblast proliferation and fibrosis. It is often associated with underlying monoclonal gammopathy, and it responds poorly to treatment. There are very few reports of nodular eruption in scleromyxoedema. We report a case of a prominent nodular eruption in an adolescent boy with scleromyxoedema without any underlying paraproteinaemia, and review the literature.Keywords
