Sporadic progressive mucinous histiocytosis in a Mexican patient

Skinmed. 2013 May-Jun;11(3):175-8.

Abstract

A 33 year-old woman presented with numerous 3- to 5-mm red-brown and yellow-brown dome-shaped nodules, primarily located on the scalp, dorsal aspects of the forearms, and lower extremities (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Her lesions started to appear 5 years prior to her consultation with increasing number and without spontaneous regression. Findings from a previous biopsy revealed epithelioid dermatofibroma. The remainder of the physical examination was unremarkable. There were no familial cases of this condition (both the mother and two older sisters were examined).
