Cutaneous mucinoses, dermal mucinoses, mucin, connective tissue disordersAbstract
The cutaneous mucinoses are a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by thedeposition of mucin, either focally or diffusely, in the interstices of the dermis. The diseasesmay occur as a primary (metabolic) event or as a secondary (catabolic) process in certaindermatoses such as lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis. Systemic abnormalities areseen with most of these disorders. A brief review and classification of the disorders includedin this group is given here.References
