title: Lupus mucinosis: a case report and review of cutaneous lupus.
abstract: Lupus mucinosis (LM) is a rare disorder found only in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). We describe a patient with lupus mucinotic nodules as the initial presenting sign of SLE. We further discuss other forms of cutaneous lupus and contrast them with our findings.
