Scleromyxedema, a rare cutaneous mucinosis of unknown cause, is a variant of generalized papular mucinosis that is also known as generalized lichen myxedematosus. It is characterized clinically by generalized papular or scleroderma-like eruptions. Histopathological examination reveals mucin deposition and a proliferation of fibroblasts in the upper dermis. We describe the case of a man with scleromyxedema treated with systemic corticosteroids whose skin lesions improved gradually within 4 weeks.
