Cutaneous mucinosis in a child with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Cutaneous mucinosis is rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. A 13-year-old girl had a two-month history of numerous cutaneous mucinous papules and the new onset of systemic lupus erythematosus. The differential diagnosis and pathogenesis of this variant of cutaneous mucinosis are discussed. This is the first report of a child with this unusual entity.
