Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) is a rare form of primary cutaneous mucinosis, most often involving the midline of the upper chest or back in middle-aged women. REM bears clinical and histopathologic resemblance to lupus erythematosus tumidus (LET), dermatomyositis, scleredema, and lichen myxedematosus. Early recognition and diagnosis of REM is particularly relevant to exclude the abovementioned diseases, as REM is more benign and has fewer systemic consequences.
网状红斑性黏蛋白病（REM）是一种罕见的原发性皮肤黏蛋白病，多见于中年女性的上胸部或背部中线部位。REM在临床和组织病理学上与肿胀性红斑狼疮（LET）、皮肌炎、硬化性水肿和黏液性苔藓相似。REM的早期识别和诊断对于排除上述疾病尤为重要，因为REM的病情更为良性，全身影响较少。
