Abstract

A healthy 10-year-old boy presented with plaque-like cutaneous mucinosis (PCM) on his back. Cutaneous biopsy was followed by progressive resolution of the skin lesion. Pediatric PCM could differ clinically from the adult form. However, more cases are necessary to draw conclusions.

Keywords: midline mucinosis; pediatric mucinosis; plaque-like mucinosis.
