A case of congenital mucinous nevus: a connective tissue nevus of the proteoglycan type.
Mucinous nevus is a very rare entity and can be classified as both a cutaneous mucinosis (CM) and a connective tissue nevus (CTN). We describe the clinicopathologic features of an unusual case of mucinous nevus in a 14-year-old Korean boy who presented with zosteriform plaques of congenital onset.
